This week we stop to appreciate the simple things in life.

We discuss the cheap and simple things we do in life that never fail to bring a smile to our faces.

From $1 Cadbury Twirls (Cadbury send us some Twirls!) and binge watching Lost to having a beer in the shower or 15 minutes with a coffee in a cafe none of the stuff we discuss is that expensive or hard to do.

However each gives one of us some level of relief and respite from the ever quickening pace of every day life of being a modern man.

Is the modern man a hunter or a gentleman? A manual labourer or a technophile? In today's culture the modern man usually is a mix of many things. The modern man must be adaptable.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing.

More fathers than ever are participating in their children's nurturing and upbringing.

The thing is that fathers and mothers come into the parenting process differently though. For the mother, the connection is biological. It's a part of her.

Fathering, on the other hand, is less so. Therefore, it's important for men to learn the skills they need to be a good dad. For some guys it's more intuitive, like kicking a football, but most guys need a coach or some direction.

DADDY EATS LAST discusses what it means to be a man and a father in modern society and all the issues that comes with both.
