3 Things To Bear In Mind After A Divorce

It’s a situation that nobody wants to be part of, but statistically around half of those who are married will get divorced. Because it is so common, it is a good idea to at least partly preparing yourself for such an eventuality, so that it is less of a devastating shock if it does happen. If you have recently gone through a divorce, you might feel lost and lonely, and you could be wondering what to do with yourself. There are a few things to bear in mind, however, in order to make sure that you are going to get through it and make the most of the situation in the long run. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the most important. Credit Keep Communication…

Our evening was interrupted by rounds of gunfire

We're going into Sunday on an unpleasant note Lizze and I were watching Netflix tonight, trying to relax after another long day of being Autism parents. About halfway through the new movie Extinction, we heard several rounds of gunfire. Unfortunately, the gunfire wasn't coming from our TV, it was coming from outside our window. This is always concerning but lately, Lizze and I have been really struggling with our living situation. We very much need to move and the rounds of gunfire tonight were the most recent reminder. Putting this aside for a minute, it was a pretty decent evening tonight. We took a roughly 2-mile walk before getting some ice cream. The kids did well-ish while we were out and we're quite proud of them. :-) UPDATE: As I'm finishing this post up,…

I can’t take it anymore

I've got a tremendous amount on my plate already and frankly, sometimes I'm at the end of my rope, holding on for dear life. The very last thing in the world I need right now is to hear these motherf***ing squirrels running around in my attic. It's driving me crazy. There's probably a dozen of them and they've made the 3rd floor of my home their playground. There are things I can ignore and there are things I can't. These squirrels are one of those things I simply cannot cope with. While I can't get up on a ladder and repair the hole they are getting in through (my back simply won't allow that anymore), I can go to Home Depot and by a live trap. I can trap every last one…

Day With Dad: How to Fit the Kids into Your Schedule

Link Let’s be honest about it, having a kid is never easy at the best of times, and having more than one can feel overwhelming! But, it is important to make time for our kids and to give them the interaction with both mommy and daddy. You play a big role in helping to shape your children’s futures, and the time you spend with them now is going to help shape the people they become. So, it is important that they get to enjoy a day out with dad, where they can hang with you, help you, and do things with you. Yes, it might be difficult to work this into your schedule, but there are certain things you can do that are going to help with this. Here are…

Are You Doing Enough To Care For Your Family’s Future?

This is a collaborative post and therefore does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of this blog or its author. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-beach-holiday-woman-39691/ Having a family is wonderful. You feel loved and supported, and it’s an incredible feeling to be able to care for your family and keep them happy. But as much as you may feel you’re doing everything you can for your family, you may not be. Of course, this is something that will very much be personal to each family and what they consider to be the best for their lives. There is no one-size fits all approach to doing well by your family. However, at the same time, it’s also very easy to get swept up in everyday life. Because we all get busy. We have our…

This is a contributed post and does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of this blog or its author. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-sitting-near-large-body-of-water-under-clear-sky-during-sunset-164293/ If you’re someone that tends to get into a routine, then it’s safe to say that you like things to be constant in your life. However, as effective as being in a routine can be - especially when you really want to get things done - it can also be a bit restricting. Before long, you may start to feel as if your routine is making life a little stale. This is what tends to happen when you stick to the same things in life. And sometimes, you just need to be able to shake it all up. From your outlook to what you eat and even your grooming routine,…

Hey Dad, You Need A Good Night’s Sleep Too!

This is a collaborative post and does not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of this author of this blog.   Every forum, every article, and every new Mom talks about how hard it is to have a baby and deal with sleep deprivation. No matter where you look, there are guides for a new Mom and how she can catch up with sleep during the day because, at night time, she’s breastfeeding and not sleeping very much at all. Here’s the thing: everyone forgets about Dad. If you are the sort of man who believes that you’ve experienced fatigue because of the latest stag do, you are very sorely mistaken. Dad’s may have ineffectual nipples that the baby doesn’t want, and Dad may have a job to get to…
