I’m that tumblr that rarely reblogs, but this made my day. I LOVED the old Batman series!

dad reads
It seems like the blogosphere is ripe with mommy blogs, but I haven’t seen a ton on fatherhood. As an expectant father, I thought it might be cool to share the few things I have found worth reading.
Here are 3 articles by the blog Art of Manliness that I’ve loved, not just for the article content but for the comments section, too.
- A Man’s Guide To Pregnancy: Getting Ready For The Baby Bomb
- A Man’s Guide To Pregnancy: How To Take Care of a Pregnant Wife
- A Man’s Guide To Pregnancy: Your Progeny Enters The World
I regularly read the Zen Habits blog by Leo Barbauta. I don’t agree with everything he writes, but I like his writing style, out-of-the-box thinking, and his approach to being a minimalist (which continually inspires this pack rat). I’m not sure that homeschooling or unschooling is the answer, but I do believe these are some great skills to teach a kid:
Also, the links in that article were worth the read, too. I enjoyed reading about the difference between French parenting and the way we do things, and why it is important for kids to learn to be happy on their own. I agree.
I’ve thumbed through the “baby bible” “What To Expect When Expecting,” and really the only thing that interested me much was the week-by-week development. I read the dad section, but it didn’t tell me anything new. I’m stumbling through “What To Expect The First Year” now. One book that I loved is “Be Prepared” by Gary Greenberg and Jeannie Hayden. It was both laugh-out-loud funny & insightful. I’d say it’s a must-read for any dad.
I keep up with How To Be A Dad’s facebook feed, more for laughs than advice. If anything, that might be the best advice I’ve read about being a parent: keeping your sense of humor :)
