The next dad to come in for an interview is Jeremy Biser. Jeremy and I
have something in common besides the fact that we are both stay-at-home
dads; we both interview other dads, too! Two weeks ago I was featured
in his Spotlight on Dads series for his Discovering Dad site. Last
March we both met in the Dads Community on cre8Buzz.com
, a new social networking site for bloggers, writers, photographers,
entrepreneurs, sports enthusiasts, and many others. Here he is to tell
you more about his life as a dad.
Interviews from the Daddyshack is an ongoing project where I
attempt to find some of the most interesting dads on
the Internet. Here are the dads who have previously been in the Daddyshack.
Pat Glennon is annoyingly boring. He really is! He writes a blog called Annoyingly Boring? and honestly, he's quite the opposite. Pat is another dad I met online through DadStaysHome.com and he is also wildly popular on the new cre8Buzz site with his page here.
He comes from a large family and I don't mean tall (he is 6' 5",
though) but I mean he has five brothers and one sister. Pat is a native
of Boston and looks forward to his swim in the harbor every New Year's
Day - because he's crazy like that. He had a lot to say when he came
into the Daddyshack and none of it was annoyingly boring. Read more!
Joe Schatz is one of the dads I met on a new site, cre8Buzz.com, and he has created quite a following of readers on his website, joeprah.com . Joe's site even caught the attention of Kathleen Deveny of Newsweek who wrote this article about throwing away your kid's artwork and mentioned his blog post from
earlier this year on the same subject. When you get a chance you should
stop by his blog and read some of the funny stuff he writes on a daily
basis. For now, sit back with some hot coffee or a tasty beverage and
read more about Joe as he takes his turn in the Daddyshack. Read more!
Next in the series of Interviews from the
Daddyshack is Ed Lamaze. I first met him on the DadStaysHome.com forum
and quickly discovered his blog titled Zoë's Dad. Ed has been an at-home dad for over 6 years. Once
an ER nurse, he is now bandaging boo-boos full time at home. With five
children, two of them twins, he somehow managed to find time to come into the
Daddyshack for an interview. Here is what Ed had to say: Read more!
Dennis is one of the many dads I have virtually met in the DadStaysHome.com forum.
After the birth of my first child I joined the forum back in 2003 but never
really got connected with the other dads. I then went back to work part-time
away from home so dropped off the site until earlier this year. It was then
that I realized what I had been missing for the last couple of years. It's not
all about bottle feeding vs. breast feeding or the best way to get poop stains
out of your kid's clothes. It's about dads having someone to hang out with and
have conversations about beer, cars, bar-b-que, the occasional (mostly)
good-natured debates, sports, advice on parenting, and the weekly poker games
after the kids are asleep. Thanks to Don-Dad for starting the site back in 2000
when he began staying home with his kids. Maybe I can get The Don here in the
Daddyshack for an interview someday in the future.
This week's featured dad is Dennis O'Rourke, Jr. He is
a regular contributor to The Don's other site, Dadcenter.com. Along with raising a handful of kids at home,
Dennis also runs an auto consulting business and will one day sell me a Porsche
911 Turbo - right after I get that winning lottery ticket. Here's what Dennis
had to say while in the Daddyshack: Read more!
The Internet is full of at-home dads. Some dads have jobs that allow them to
work from home while the moms go to the office. Many dads left their careers
altogether to raise their kids. The rising popularity of dad blogs and dad
sites brings many of these men together to swap stories, give advice if needed,
and recommend a good beer to pair with the night's dinner.
