Pretending to be a Parent

Posted on August 1, 2006January 29, 2024 by James

I should have gone into acting as a career… it seems I am extremely good at pretending to be something I am not.  Although I am the father of four children, I am not sure if I am truly a parent.

OK, don’t run off to the local protective services and turn me in for being a fake parent, but honestly, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel like I am really messing up the parenting game.

From breaking my children’s hearts to being told by my 8-year old that I am “mean as the devil”, there seems to be a constant ‘review’ with my family on how things are going.  At least for my wife and I…

This blog will backlog some interesting things we’ve experienced through the years as well as the stories associated with parenting.  Hopefully, you will find something that you can use, lose, or at least laugh at!

    James… I say it is never too late! Acting?? Yes..sweetie, you got it! From imitating your dad hicking up his pants to the lead singer in Sister Act, you can do it! You are multi-talented. Your leading role as “Daddy”?? You win an Academy Award… because you truly are a wonderful Father, Dad and Friend to your children. I remember telling my son on one occasion.. “I love you enough to allow you to hate me.” There are just those moments that tough love has to be the hand… the rocks the cradle! Hang in there…
