My wife loves my relationship with our son. Indedd it has improved our marrige as it has enabled me to show love through my masculinity. I found this difficult before we had children.

The analogy about the dog and the point you were trying to make are actually quite clear. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Omari: Thanks for visiting! Wow, it’s gotta be tough to be raising 4 kids all by yourself! And, to be a homeschool advocate to boot. Thanks again for visiting, Omari!

Hi Keith!

Just found your blog and it is quite inspirational. I am currently living with my (4) boys ages 3, 4, 6, and 7 respectively in Amman, Jordan. I am a big advocate of homeschooling but now we have found a sort of ‘homeschool co – op’ here in Amman, Jordan. Recently there mother left back for the States and I have been put in a situation where I have to raise them by myself. I am looking forward to sharing my experiences as well as reading about your adventures as well. All the best, man!

Wow.

Really, Bob?

REALLY?

So you’re calling Keith a coward and a piece of garbage. Isn’t EXACTLY the same thing you are doing to him, name calling and hiding behind the shroud of the internet?

And come on…are you flippin’ kidding me with the apparent guilt trip you are trying to lay on Keith?

Don’t be a douche. It’s really not that serious.

Hey, Bob. The DOG had pride in his actions. I didn’t say I thought it was funny. Jeesh.

“It’s sorta like my dog that killed the neighbors cat and brought it to me while I sat on the back porch. Such pride.”

You wrote that like you think it’s funny, a cat that was killed by your dog, which made everything else you wrote in the article not worth reading. I think you are a coward and piece of garbage.

[...] Walk around any suburban neighborhood and count the number of store bought, pre-fabricated play sets. It’s maddening because it’s yet another way that parents have robbed their kids of their imaginations. My dad, way back when, built me a backyard play house. I think he saw something similar to it in a magazine and said to himself, “I can do that!”. I participated in it’s construction (well, I stood around and watched and brought hammers and snacks). The thing did not come in a box. My dad went to the hardware store, bought the wood he thought he needed, cut the wood, nailed and screwed in the joints, drilled the holes, and sanded and stained the wood. I watched him do it, and I remember being fascinated that something so cool could be created right out of someones head. What will kids these days have to look back on when their fathers die? The IKEA play set that he spent 20 minutes assembling with a hex-wrench? The fancy fort that was delivered and assembled by professionals? Modern play sets leave nothing to the imagination and are travesties of father/son bonding. [...]
