Here’s some insight on seven things she hates about you, and how you might tone down her disdain. 1. You don’t finish what you start: Women seem to be wired to want to do a 150% effort on household chores, … [Read more...] about Seven Things She Hates about You

The Fertility Secret You Should Never Tell

August 28, 2007 by Steve Johnston Leave a Comment

As a guy, we warn you about one key thing that should be a pact between you and your wife. Neither of you should ever tell anyone who’s “fault” it is that you’re having trouble getting pregnant (if you even want to share that with others). Of course, if you’re the “let it all hang out” types, this advice doesn’t apply. However, if your wife, or even you, shares the secret, you … [Read more...] about The Fertility Secret You Should Never Tell

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks
Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews
