Things I dig include: simple living, natural fatherhood, attachment parenting, natural building, unassisted childbirth (homebirth), bicycles, permaculture, organic and biodynamic gardening, vegan peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, bouldering, and the blues.

    I find it amazing how some people who managed to reproduce suddenly become know-it-all’s about parenthood. Just amazing.

    Especially with fathers. Seems to me, the new trend is to have a child and then write a book about it. A bad book, mostly.

    But then again, that’s probably how everything starts and we can just hope that it all gets better.

    Until then, I’ll be writing appropriate reviews on amazon.com.

      Max – I’m a bit confused by your comment. Are you addressing me? I’ve been a dad for over 20 years, birthed babies, lost a child, and have kids ranging from 21 years down to 6 months old. I think I can say that I’m qualified to be able to answer questions about parenthood and fatherhood. Perhaps you disagree – what are your qualifications for a person giving parenting advice?

      Maybe I misread your comment?
