I'm a 33-year-old father and husband born and bred 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 former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.
This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.
Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

I also matched my shoes and belt the next day before work, not to mention using the word “fabulous” to describe my wife’s cooking. [...]
It all started when Chris didn’t go out for the football team. Chris, now 42, grew up in northern Michigan and had no idea his decision not to do battle on the gridiron would be the start of the biggest fight of his life. Because from that day on, all the other kids in school [...] [...]
I’m in a bind. Earlier this week I was picking Will up at daycare. I routinely spend a few minutes chatting with my provider. When I asked how Will did that day she smiled and told him to repeat what they say before meals. At that point, to my displeasure, Will said “God is great, [...] [...]
Michael Pakaluk, a columnist for The Pilot newspaper representing the Archdiocese of Boston, is taking some well-deserved heat after penning this column recently. If you don’t feel like reading it (and if you’re easily nauseated I wouldn’t recommend it), allow me to sum it up for you: Gay people shouldn’t be parents because they’re immoral [...] [...]
