You can guarantee that on many occasions your kid will get nutted or slapped or punched by another kid – usually during a party or playgroup. And you can also guarantee that the parent of said offender will pull what I call the ‘Oh, kids!’ face. You know, the face that looks a little something [...]

Sloppy Seconds
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dads, fatherhood, parenting on May 15, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I’m dreading Noah’s 18th birthday, even if it is 16 years away. Why? Because when my wife and I inevitably break out the old albums to embarrass him in front of his girlfriend, we’ll struggle to find any photos of him; and, as we scrabble around in boxes of memories it’ll be us who are [...]
Sick with Worry
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged child, dads, fatherhood, parenthood, parenting, safety, worry on May 14, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Someone once told me that you don’t know the meaning of worry until you become a parent – and ever since I’ve become a dad, I know exactly what they’re talking about. Fuelled by horrific news stories like this and this, I sometimes find my anxiety rising to epic proportions. In fact, if I were [...]
Gobsmacked

I’m gobsmacked. Speechless. And believe me, that doesn’t happen often. For the past five days ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ and ‘Teething Pains’ have been available to download for free. You are probably already aware of this, as I’ve been tweeting about it incessantly to the point where I’m losing most of my real-life friends, as they’re [...]
Ignore your broken nose, son, it’s 1-0 to me
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dads, father, fatherhood, parenting on March 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Parenting is all about little power struggles, daily victories in the constant battle between you and your child. Sometimes you win, sometimes he wins. It’s the circle of life, or something. Sometimes, in our quest of one-upmanship against our child, we run the risk of becoming overly stubborn, stamping our superiority on our offspring, but [...]
Willy or Woo-Woo?

Much to the mirth of the bulging women and ageing receptionists in the MUMS centre I scuttle over to my wife, who has been sat in the waiting room wondering where I am as I sit in another waiting room wondering exactly the same thing. I was nervous, you see, and not thinking straight. I [...]
Awesome history and snotty noses (may contain castles)
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged castle, dads, fatherhood, history, kenilworth castle, time team on February 25, 2012 | 1 Comment »
There’s no ‘may’ about it. This post does contain castles: Kenilworth Castle, in fact, which is just down the road from where I live. In Kenilworth. Today Noah and I went down to the castle as Jess recruited Isaac to help her wash her car (I’d do it, but it goes all streaky). And so, we [...]
Can’t you please just ACT poorly?!

No-one wants their child to be ill. I certainly didn’t want Isaac, our four year-old, to be unwell when he was pulled past me by the arm as I got home from work yesterday. “I’ve got him an emergency appointment at the doctor,” said my wife as she bustled him into the car. “There’s blood [...]
Great Deals on ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ and ‘Teething Pains’
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged birth, book, books, dads, fatherhood, funny, mums, parening, pregnancy on January 21, 2012 | 3 Comments »
I’ve decided that this year I need to put more effort into selling my books, hence the relentless plugging during ‘One Born Every Minute’ each Wednesday, which I’m sure has bugged the heck out of many a follower. Anyway, there are two great ways at the moment that you can go about buying my books [...]
