You may not give a shit - but then again you might...(SMILE) For several months I've wanted to start a blog, but had way too many ideas - but no burning 'fire'. Then I ran across your post on Sept. 18. I truly do not recall the topic, nor would I comment on it - but as I "watched" each of you comment back and forth I suddenly had the most amazing idea....and I acted on it. ((Follow me here)) I created a blog for fathers who want to be Dads. I grew up a fatherless daughter - and have been amazed by the impact the lack of a strong male role model can have on a child - especially a girl. If even ONE father looks at my blog and says,"Wow, I did not realize how much I impact my daughter." Then telling my story will be well worth it. My blog is less than a week old, but I just 'know' that it is the right thing at the right time. So.....just wanted to let you know…..your blog and (great) fathering skills caused a EUREKA!....that inspired me to create a blog - that MAY help some wonderfully amazing little girls get the love they ALL deserve.

There's a wide spectrum in between. Bitching about it in a blog post isn't going to change much, so I don't really understand why some mommy bloggers go there. I have to say that I don't read any blogs where that happens, and I probably never will. My husband is a great father, who spends all of his free time with our son and even takes him to work with him, so I never complain about him in that respect. If only I could get him to take over the homework duty, he would be the perfect father and husband ;) Some guys are very involved, wonderful fathers, and some guys just plain suck as fathers.
