It turns out I'm not so great at keeping up with this blog. My sweet little bug will be turning three this next month. I love being a father! I do however want to say that I was misinformed. A new born is far easier to take care of then a toddler. This is a great but exhausting stage. I find my days filled with why? why not? mine! Whats that? NO! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!..... what?? haha

It has been over a year since my last blog post. My sweet little bug is now two years old. I love being a parent. I recently went back to work. I've been working three months now....it has been an adjustment for both of us.I'm happy to be back in the work force, I am however struggling with guilt. During the past three months there have been times I've felt that I'm not spending enough time with her. For my own sanity it was and is important for me to go back to work. Especially after a two and a half year hiatus!

Men who use laptop computers on their knees may harm their 'sperm'

A Guide for Gay Dads - launched by Stonewall

Stonewall has launched this week 'A Guide for Gay Dads', giving gay men practical advice in plain English on how to become a dad.
The guide is the brother publication to Pregnant Pause, released earlier this year.

It includes a handy glossary and spells out all the recent legal changes in plain English to help demystify the process.

Dealing with the families of children's friends

in

I have a question about what and how to tell the parents of my children's friends about my being gay. Is it necessary to disclose my sexuality or that I have a partner to a child's parents when that child comes for a visit to our home or goes on an outing with us? I don't want to ask my children to keep silent about it because I think that sends the wrong message but I also don't want a 'secret' to keep the other parents from letting our children see each other. Any suggestions?

Want to be a Dad? men have ticking biological clocks too

After much soul-searching, I have finally come out of the closet. It was pointless denying it any longer. Judging by the sniggers and knowing looks, everyone ­probably knew already. So I just came out with it: ‘I want a baby.’
I want to cradle the little mite in my arms. I want sleepless nights and ­afternoons in the park. I want to spend a small fortune every Christmas and moan about house prices in school catchment areas. In short, I’m broody.
