Posted on September 18th, 2009 | 12 comments

Men over 40 can’t get it up!
Or so some women say.
At least they’ve said that to me, before we dated. After? That’s a different story entirely…
Head on over to the Silicon Valley Moms blog as I corrupt the moms with a dad’s view of old guy virility.

Is Divorce Coparenting Easy?

Posted on September 16th, 2009 | 34 comments

A Dad’s House reader politely pointed out that I have it much easier as a divorced man who coparents with my ex, than a full time single dad. To wit:

Jon Gosselin recently talked to ABC News about things that led to his divorce. For one, Jon said he got tired of Kate Gosselin talking down to him and berating him. Jon said he finally took a stand for himself and stood up to her, knowing it might lead to divorce.

Posted on August 26th, 2009 | 22 comments

After I was interviewed and quoted by CNN for a single dad’s opinion about Jon and Kate Gosselin, I asked and answered this question on my blog: where do Jon and Kate live? In denial.

This past weekend, I hooked up for lunch with single mom blogger Mindy from Single Mom Says. Mindy was vacationing in San Francisco, along with her 4-year-old daughter. No, it wasn’t that sort of hookup. We ate lunch, hit the beach, ate chocolate. (Though, judging by the way some women react to chocolate, maybe it [...]
