Sex. Marriage. The Secret Problem
January 17, 2008 – 12:31 am | No Comment

I’m sitting here with my brother and Amber emails me to write a post for MHM. I ask my brother—single, by the way—what I should write about for the Mamas. He says, and I quote, “tell them to get on um more.â€?
I chuckle. I say, “why not?â€?
But considering the MHM audience is primarily female, I [...]

Mrs. McDad is a well renowned leadfoot. So, [my daughter]THREE’s recent report didn’t exactly come as a surprise. It did, however, hammer home the point that I now have two little “ratsâ€? in the house.

This is dedicated to all you new and almost new dads.
Needless to say, if your lady is on board with nourishing your child from the melons-of-life, count your blessings. Sure you may have to submit to a handful of keep-her-company 3AM feedings, just to show you really do care. But as the weeks slog [...]

The Witness
September 30, 2007 – 1:12 am | No Comment

A common conundrum plagues the male species. We don’t listen. Our women know we don’t listen. They use this knowledge against us so artfully that it has become mere reflex; so much so that they don’t even realize they do it. How many times do you hear this exchange?
“Honey. Did you drop off the dry [...]

PMS Is Your Friend…A Pregnancy Guide

Lamaze: do I really need to do this?
Let me start by saying that during our first pregnancy, MRS and I attended an Over 30 Lamaze class which allowed us to meet a lot of new friends and realize that we were not the only couple in the world without tongue rings and lower back tattoos [...]
