About Bill Bounds

Bill Bounds is the author of “Forty Weeks of Keeping Your Head Down.” This is the story of one fairly typical man trying to navigate down the road towards being a father for the first time.

The goal is not to show other men what they will expect as they go down this road themselves, as much as to show just what one guy experienced so they might have some indication as to what’s in store for them, what’s typical and what isn’t, and what they’re thinking may just also be the same as every other guy going through it.

She has other smaller responsibilities like giving my wife and I kisses bye-bye or for “night-nights.”  Lately, she occasionally finds herself in a particularly foul or independent mood and decides she … [Read more...] about Call their bluffs

Tag teaming

December 20, 2010 by Bill Bounds Leave a Comment

No matter what words of wisdom come from me or anyone else you receive advice from, two-year-olds will sometimes scream despite our best efforts to stop it. This is a fact. As parents, we simply have to figure out how to deal with it. In our case, I’m finding my daughter’s most significant impossible-to-control melt-downs seem to be due not so much to her wanting something … [Read more...] about Tag teaming

A little choice goes a long way

November 14, 2010 by Bill Bounds Leave a Comment

It should come as no surprise to anyone that a primary source for the overall terribleness of the Terrible Twos is that this is the time a child first starts to exercise his independence. He’s coming out of a time where he was totally immobile and depending on his parents for absolutely everything, then somewhat mobile but unsure on his feet. Now that he’s nearly fully mobile, … [Read more...] about A little choice goes a long way
