About Me

I'm a 30-year-old father and husband living on a peninsula in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase and a slightly twisted sense of humor. This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I'm also prone to talk about marriage, sports, movies and pop culture. I'm a Boston sports fanatic and my hatred for all New York teams knows no bounds. I'm honest to a fault, prone to cross a few lines but simultaneously heartfelt and sincere. But whether I'm describing the time I manually pumped my wife's breast while she was nursing or writing about how much my son enriches my life, the only promise I can make is I'll update often and I can't help but be passionate. Thanks for stopping by!

As you can gather from [...]

The Bad Parent Club

Hi. My name is Aaron. And I’m a bad parent.
Not bad in the sense that anyone needs to call Child & Family Services on me, it’s more bad in the form of not being a politically correct parent. And, in some cases, just being lazy. It means I sometimes take shortcuts when it comes to [...]

When Soccer Moms are Strapped

I don’t like guns. At all. If you’re a gun-toting NRA fanatic you might just want to save yourself the frustration and skip this post altogether. You’ve been warned.
There is a tragic/stupid story unfolding in Pennsylvania about an apparent murder-suicide involving a gun-toting soccer mom. If you’re lazy and don’t feel like reading the whole [...]

They’re Babies, Not Fashion Models

A few days ago I was leaving to take Will to daycare when I ran into a woman on the street who stopped and took a gander at Will. Instead of saying “Oh how cute” or “That’s one adorable little boy you have there,” she came out with this gem:
“Oh my. I see daddy dressed [...]
