WELCOME

This blog is about fatherhood. Black fatherhood to be exact. But it's also about how no matter our race, gender, political affiliation (or whatever it is that can potentially separate us), good parents are all connected through parenthood. Our shared experiences are what bind us, not to mention our love of a good story.

DO WE ALL HATE PARENTING?

Probably not. But we totally do have rough moments that often wipe away the most recent perfect moment in a heart beat. Definitely a topic worth talking about. And writing about. It was Jennifer Senior’s New York Magazine article that started it all. Shout out to Jason, Paul, and Jennifer who along with me had a chance to talk about it on Tell Me More with Michel Martin on NPR.

Wow! What a deep article and conversation! I’ve had to argue this point with my husband over the course of our five years of marriage, and I’m beginning to see some truth to it now. I can’t say that he hates parenting, but he’s not “overjoyed” or “enthusiastic” about it either.
