A Better Father

Not a lot of notes this week.  Just me talking and going over some things.

Arm Chair Expert Podcast &

Inside of you with Michael Rosenbaum

I got the flu, so did my daughter.  How do you help your child find a job?  Did she have a good first meet with a comic book artist three years ago?  It's all revealed in this week's episode.  Sorry, it's late.  The sickness will do that to you.

I watch Creed 2 and meltdown a little.  I hear the errors in my ways and apologize for the way I make some stuff sound.  It's not intentional, I promise.

I talk about being bored with my own divorce process, does anyone else get to feeling this way?  I talk about homeless people in Starbucks.  I talk about bedtimes for kids and my thoughts on it.  I reference this parenting email:  https://themilitarywifeandmom.com.  Now, that I'm thinking about the way I presented information about bedtime, it feels like I'm judging, or this was just easy for me, or I'm saying, just do it, why make it hard and it's not always that way.  It's my own fears and insecurities that make things sound the way they do.  It's not reflection on anyone else, or their parenting style.  I need to move this thought to abetterfather.com and expand on it and maybe talk more about this on the next podcast.

Thank you for listening.

I've been trying to stay positive and make this podcast a place to go to hear good things, get uplifted and focus on what's important.  That's where I will continue to go with this.  Today, however, I wanted to talk about feeling sad, or hurt, or pain and know that if you are feeling that way you are not alone.  I also read from The World According to Mr. Rogers by Fred Rogers.  I talk about the two quotes I read from and give my thoughts and views.  Thank you for listening.

Holy crap, that's nearly a $500 book.  Guess it's going back on the shelf.

I rant and I'm sad.  That's what this is hear for, but promise it ends on a happy note, and that's a really, really good things.  Thank you for listening and hopefully, there's something here that connects and helps.
