I am my kids' Dad

Anyone can be a father, you have to work hard to become dad.  There are so many great things that come about from the moment you are labeled as “Dad”.  One day, you’re you, the next day, you’re so much more. 

With the re-launching of Inside Out as Dads Unlimited, I hope to plumb some of the depths of meaning of the word "dad"- the joys, hopes, fears, responsibilities, aids, opportunities, and so much more that is necessary and helpful to us as dads.

For too long, popular culture has portrayed dads as bumbling, insensitive, selfish boors.  Some of us actually believe that is who we are to be.  Its time we make the name “Dad” into something hard to achieve, not easy.  Let’s re-take the title.

Over the next few months, I hope to see this blog turn into a place where dads can congregate, celebrate, cogitate and even castigate if need be.  “Press a button and tune back in three-four-five times a week,” are the words of Toronto’s all news radio station.  I encourage the same here.  Save to Favorites and come back often.  This blog is a work-in-progress, then again, aren’t we all?

Monday’s are planned for Inspirational days- days when Dads Unlimited brings encouragement and motivation to keep striving to become who we want so much to be.  Wednesday’s are for Trends- current topics and how we can possibly face what is going on in the world around us in light of who we are. 

Friday’s are for Ideas- things to do with our kids, or how to handle situations that may arise.

Tomorrow there will be a post as well…not a regularly scheduled one, a diversion.  There will be a second video uploaded regarding the A-to-Z Blog Challenge coming up this April.  Stay tuned.  Also, stay tuned over at the official A-to-Z Challenge website for exciting details of what is ahead!

Please, come back and see us.  As always, comments, even just a friendly hello, are welcomed.  Suggestions even more so.
Oh, and we are adding a baby to our home today too...stay tuned!
