He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland

Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name. ~William Wordsworth


Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament.

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't. ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!

There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik


Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities


Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again. ~Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968

Fathers Day Poems

A Father and a Dad Are Not the Same

"A father and a dad are not the same:
One can be a dad and not a father,
Or one can be a father and not bother
To earn through love the more endearing name.
Some find fatherhood a bit too tame,
Leaving all the details to the mother,
Or dumping the sweet burden on another
Man with just a passing twinge of shame.
You have been our dad so many years
That you've become the landscape that is home,
The mountain that we look to from afar.
No matter where we go we're not alone,
For you remain within to still our fears
And be the word that tells us who we are."

A Mother Casts Her Dreams into the Sea


A mother casts her dreams into the sea;
We, the words sent bobbing towards the sun,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy.

Because she must conclude her melody
And fall back to the sweet dark hush of One,
A mother casts her dreams into the sea,

Hoping to cross that wild infinity
And on some infant shore again to run,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy

Outside the fiery circle of memory,
The howling surf, the incessant years undone ...
A mother casts her dreams into the sea

And then dissolves into a tapestry,
Her rolling, helpless drift again begun,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy

Afloat once more upon eternity,
Once more the alien fury, never done ...
Again, again, her dreams into the sea,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy!

Mother's Day Out

Is Mom's Day Out Right for You?

Mom's Day Out program can help you add in some "me time" to your busy agenda each week. They also give your children the chance to interrelate, have fun and even learn.

As a stay-at-home mom, it's simple to feel guilty about dropping off your child to have someone else take care of her when you could be doing it yourself. However, Mom's Day Out can be a high-quality thing for both of you.

When considering a Mom's Day Out program, here are five ways to make your choice easier:

1. Take Your Time
If you're struggling with the decision, now's a good time to take a step back. There's no hurry to get involved in Mom's Day Out.

Just let some time pass and come back to the issue later. As long as the sitting for your child's age isn't full, Mother's Day Out programs generally let you sign up any time of the year. You're not limited to a semester-type enrollment like you would be for school.

2. Ask Other Moms
You're not alone in your feelings of guilt and concern. As a good mom, you can't help but speculate if you're doing the right thing for your child.

Talk to other moms online, through playgroups or chat with moms rank in line at the local grocery store. Ask if their children are involved in a Mom's Day Out program and, if so, which one.

Don't be shy about asking these moms how they made the choice to put their child in Mom's Day Out. They probably had the same concerns you do.

As moms, we love talking about our children and the ongoing challenge we face. Chances are slim you'll upset a mom by ask about her feelings.

3. Evaluate Your Current Schedule
If your main interest in Mom's Day Out is because you're concerned about your child's socialization, take a look at what you're already doing on a daily basis. Are you concerned in a weekly music class for children? Playgroup? Toddler gymnastics?

Everything you're already doing may be more than enough. If you're not quite prepared to be apart from your child, spend the time on a playground, at the zoo or at your local play gym instead. You can also talk to your pediatrician about how much time your child in fact needs to spend with other children at her age.

4. Visit the Mom's Day out Location
You can't possibly make this decision without visiting the Mother's Day Out ability first. When you call to schedule a tour, make sure the person who will be watching your child will be there.

Many of your fears will vanish during your tour. You'll usually find children are in rooms, much like classrooms, based on their ages. Once you see children painting fridge art, playing with toys and listening to stories, you'll get a direct glimpse into how your own child will be treated.

Meeting the program director as well as who will be surveillance your child every week can help you decide if this is a place where you'll feel comfortable send-off your children. Ask them lots of questions. What are their security procedures? What happens if there's a crisis? Do they use corporal punishment?

Don't worry. You're not the first mom to ask this same question. You need to know the answer and they appreciate.

5. Start with One Day
Most Moms’ Day Out programs let you to sign up from one day a week up to five for about four hours each day. Start slowly and take your child once a week.

See how you both like the time apart. You may be amazed at how you're the one that has more of a problem adjusting than your child!

If you're still feeling the mommy guilt, just keep in mind, there's a reason it's called Mom's Day Out and not Child's Day Out. These types of programs are familiar with that mommy hood is hard and you deserve some time for yourself.

The good news is, you won't make a wrong choice here. What you decide to do will be right for you and your family.
