Return of the Living Dad is a parenting blog by Musician, Web Developer, Designer, and Dad, Andrew Mason. It began from a need to record and communicate the pure, destruction waged on the core of my being from two small, difficult humans. It grew to be a platform for me to offer real, genuine perspective on parenting when it isn't glossy, isn't glamorous, and isn't anything like the internet says it is.

We call it the sillies. But it’s really not that. It’s a laughing while you ransack the universe kind of sillies. So it’s more like the brutals.

My oldest gets it after sugar intake, when he’s tired, and I realized today, when he’s in the presence of his brother, and they wind each other up.
