Dad-splaining, My Trigger, Be Dapper - An OBVIOU5 Voice - 017 

 

I wanted to quickly touch base with Movember and I wanted to reach out and thank each and every one of you that have donated and sent along any of the best wishes that you did and support that you gave me. We ended up Movember at $420, and every single one of those dollars counts towards helping Men's Health. 

 

Parenting  

This is something with my daughter she jokes with me all the time about this, and I'm sure many of the women out there can attest to this at the same time. But I want to talk about how to help out with homework or simple conversations without dad-splaining. The joke that's actually going around with my daughter and I, she wants me to get a tattoo like a dictionary entry, where I have dad-splaining up top and then underneath it explain what dad-splaining is, which I think is actually quite cute, won't be doing that, but I think it's funny, and it's one of those things that we all do... 

 

Mental health.  

My trigger for my mental health and my depression comes from this month. December is a tough month for many different reasons and I don't know when it actually started for me. The amount of time that I was spending alone in the house and the amount of time that I would either be reading something or watching something or seeing something on the internet that would push me further into that depressed state and seeing kids on TV, seeing kids interact with their fathers on TV. Certain blurbs on the internet about loved ones being together... 

 

 Dapper. 

No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, what you read, or what you see, always be dapper. There's something that is going to set you off or put you down a path that is not very stoic, you need to take a step back, take that breath and have a thought, think about where this information came from... 

 

Dad Tip of the Day  

“Today's mood or emotions or thoughts, don't belong to tomorrow.” 

Anything that we're dealing with today is today's baggage. Deal with it today. Then when you wake up tomorrow it's a brand-new day, a fresh start. It's time to move forward. So, anything that's happening today all of your thoughts, your moods, your emotions, understand it, see it. Then deal with it. We'll move on to tomorrow we'll start fresh. Every day is a new day. we see the sun come up every single day.
