I’ve often been critical of commercials and their exaggerations (err, “I just misspoke”…sound familiar?) and am happy to report that there’s a really good one out there now! Yes, a good commercial. And, it portrays men in a good light. How novel? How refreshing? How odd?
What a coincidence that I’m going on a cruise while Dad has begun his! I think I can have fun writing about some of Dad’s experiences while imagining some of mine!? After all, I’m NOT That Dad!

Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board – for “Political Talk.”
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, No One Said It Would Be Easy (Being a Parent). But, as always, we’ll talk about whatever is on our minds!
This is the Sallan boys singing along to the great Drifters Fifties version of White Christmas back about a decade ago when they were VERY little and not very cooperative. I had a sore throat, but we still had a bunch of fun doing it! We all still enjoy listening to it a lot. These are the memories you keep forever! Enjoy, laugh, and sing-a-long with us!
This Thursday November 21, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET, we are discussing Driving Safety. For the first time we have a teenager who will be the co-host. Brett Jonas aka @BookSquirt has been a regular participant at #DadChat for several months. After her family had a very stunning experience with a car accident, saving lives from a fiery crash, she felt motivated to take on this important discussion.
There are so many clichés around parenting that I could literally fill a book. I like “no one said it would be easy” for parenting and many things. In fact, most of the best things in life aren’t “easy.” They may be fun, but they are often not easy. Dennis Prager has often talked about this very fact when he speaks on happiness and differentiates between what makes us happy and what is simply fun.
The fact that I’m also going on a big trip is purely coincidental because EVERYONE knows that I’m NOT That Dad!
