I have a teenage daughter and 2 toddler boys. The next few years will prove very trying at times, but very rewarding as well. I hope to share some of my experiences and gain some knowledge through other Dads out there that might happen across this site.Millennium Dadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11097716619049902356noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553908352053906659.post-7098512263128633542009-05-22T07:32:00.000-07:002009-05-22T08:07:08.345-07:00

So we have recently been going through a battle with our three year old. It started when we moved into our new house last summer. Gradually he had worked himself into sleeping with us every night. It got to the point where my wife wouldn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night so she moved his bed into our room. He would start the night there and then crawl into our bed in the middle of

This week my 15yo daughter called home needing a ride after school. Apparently she was hanging out with some friends after school on campus and they decided they were going to smoke pot and asked her to come along. Her really good friend wanted to go with them and didn't want to go alone. My daughter didn't want to go along, but she also didn't want to leave her friend alone either. Not knowing

A year ago if you would have told me my daughter would have 2 F's and a D I would have said no way. She was on the honor roll in middle school and seemed to have a good work ethic. The beginning of the year was hard for her being at a new school in a new school district and we cut her a little slack as she had a lot going on. Once soccer season was over we figured she would have more time to

It's been a while since I have posted. Life has taken quite the turn with High school starting. Our latest bit of excitement has been a new product that has touched our family called Mona Vie. A relative introduced us to it a while back and it seems to have helped our family in a few different ways. My wife feels like she is getting to sleep faster, I feel like I'm getting better sleep, and our

So the swim party went a lot better than I had expected. Most of the kids were very respectful and I think everyone had a really good time. It was interesting to see how the kids interacted. There were a few different groups of friends and it was nice to see the diversity of friends my daughter has made.The biggest surprise for me was that almost everyone ended up swimming. I guess she really

The teen had a birthday last month but we were unable to have a proper party due to other commitments. Tonight's the night we planned to have a gathering for her friends. It should be interesting. She elected for a swim party so we rented the local community center pool for her and 50 of her friends (including the current boy that she likes). The latest count is around 40 people, and it looks

This week the boys each got ear infections. The 2 year old started complaining of an ear ache so I took him to see the doctor. It was late in the evening so we had to see the on call doctor. Sure enough, he had an ear infection. The doctor gave us some sample chewable tablets to tide him over until the next day and we were off. I remember thinking I should have him take a look at the youngest one

For the purpose of anonymity I will not be using the real names of my family members. If this becomes confusing at some point, someone can suggest names in the comments area.The Teen: My teenage daughter is 14. She will be starting high school next year. She's a great kid, honor role student, athlete, and a good role model for her two younger brothers. Some of the things I will share in future
