Single Parent Dating is Tougher than a High School Crush

Posted on September 30th, 2009 | 10 comments

High school crushes can be difficult for teens to navigate.
I know, because I have a teen daughter who is dating right now. Plus, I was a dating teen myself, back in the stone age. (I actually had a long term girlfriend back in high school. No hit it and quit it dating for me!)
Well, as [...]

If youth is wasted on the young, perhaps old age is being wasted on me. I was recently in a coffee house when two younger women checked me out. Yes, the older men younger women fantasy flashed through my mind.

Call me old school, but I grew up thinking it was a good idea to actually plan dates. You know, pick a night, a time, a place, and then go do it.

Some nights my kids and I play a kissie game when they go to bed. They crawl into bed. I’m supposed to kiss them on each cheek. (Yes, they’re both teens. You’d think they would have tired of this game a decade ago. But no, they still love it.)
They squirrel their bodies like crazy, cover [...]

Those wacky French – for reasons known only to them, they commissioned a study about booze and sex.
As in, drinking booze makes you more likely to have sex.
Ya’ think!?
(If you’re not sure you agree, check my backyard sex, wild animal story. It happened after cocktails.)
Of course, such a ridiculous French study needs a ridiculous Hot [...]

When Sexy Texting Leads to Divorce

I earlier told the story of a Dad’s House reader who found a pre-paid GoPhone in his wife’s lingerie drawer. Turns out his hot wife was having a discreet affair. The secret phone had sexy text messages between his wife and her lesbian lover.
Dad’s House readers chimed in with advice – confiscate the phone, freeze [...]
