Happy Father’s Day to everyone. I also vehemently deny the accusations in this card. Except the good dad part 😁
Author Emma Brown spoke with GQ about fatherhood, the problem with the term “toxic masculinity,” and the current state of American boyhood.
“When my daughter was two, she was on the playground and she was just struggling against her fear of going across this rope-netting bridge that was strung high up above the ground. And I told her, "Tell myself, I'm strong and fearless," and for my daughter that's what I wanted. It just rolled off my tongue, that's what I wanted her to think of herself. And I had no motto like that for my son, but by the time I finished this book I realized I didn't want to tell both my kids that. They should think of themselves as strong and gentle, that telling a kid they need to be strong and fearless is like telling them they have to choose only the traits that we have associated with masculinity.
And there are great traits associated with masculinity, right, like leadership and strength and courage and such. And we want all of our kids, boys and girls, to have access to the same things. I also want both of my kids to have access to the best of what we have traditionally called feminine, so that's gentleness and caring, right, and connection. So I think where I came to myself as a parent at the end of this research was: I want my kids, both my son and my daughter, to be able to have access to and use the best qualities of what we have traditionally called male or female or masculine or feminine.
I wrote about research about how some of the most successful and creative and happiest people are the people who are able to combine those traits from across the stereotypical gender spectrum, rather than feel like they're cornered in one spot on that spectrum.“
McDonalds points could’ve saved my daughter’s life…..
“Dad. Why did you spend all of our McDonald’s points on one order! What if one day we needed those points as the only source of food we have left? What if we were broke and had no food and we needed the points to live? Now we have to starve because you spent all of our points on a Big Mac meal. How would you feel about me dying sooner than I needed because you spent all of our points? You could’ve gotten some nuggets and spread the points out over a number of days and saved my life.”

4 ways my mom changed my life
Whether you had a perfect childhood or got traumatized by early experiences, we all could agree that our moms influence us in the most profound ways. An while each one of us has a mom, by definition, I consider myself lucky.

The Family: Building the Society
The Family: Building the Society
Introduction The world we are in now is in such a confused state. So many of our morals and values have been lost. The abnormal is now the new normal and everyone is just moving with the tide. The family as an institution has lost its essence, and every other thing including the family is affected. When you see a large number of people together, the smallest unit is the individual who obviously…

Parents Step Up
One of the things plaguing society today is poor parenting. Too many children are growing up without role models they can emulate. The weakness of our men in regard to being responsible and showing moral and mental strength have resulted in many single parent homes where raising the children is left solely on the women. Yes we have weak women too because we have single parent homes with fathers…
