Return of the Living Dad
A blog about parenting, life, and all the shit in between.
Not your usual parenting stuff
We often say our kids are more difficult than most. Maybe it's because they were from the Covid times. Maybe it's our parenting style. Maybe it's that they're boys. Either way, the internet hasn't been a huge help for us on a swath of topics from sleep to potty training, thumb sucking, tantrums, and a whack of other stuff, outside of the fact that most parents don't talk about the actual realities of parenting. This is where ROTLD comes in.
About ROTLD
I have two beautiful, unique, creative, amazing, difficult, defiant, persistent, determined, and funny boys. I am thankful for them every day. I am also destroyed by them every day.
Work, play, life, chaos
There's a lot happening, a lot changing, and a lot to sift through as a parent trying to keep your sanity. From food to behaviour, health, activites, family, events, and school it's nearly impossible to be on top of (any) of it.
How it all began
It all started as a way to process the insanity happening in my life. It morphed into a way to remember the insanity happening in my life. It morphed further into a way to laugh (like in a just to keep from crying kind of way) at the insanity happening in my life. Then it grew into this.
