I’m a better father when I like what I’m wearing.

I hate pigeons more than anything in the entire world. Clearly, that fear doesn’t run in the family. 🐦 #Siagon
🇻🇳 Siagon is NOT your typical family travel destination. In fact, it’s really not built to keep a crew like ours entertained for long periods of time. And you know what? That’s why we’re loving it so much! This isn’t your all-inclusive beach resort with built-in activities and kids menus. Just real, gritty, humid, everyday Vietnamese life. Serious push-you-out-of-your-comfort-zone culture at its finest. Has it been stressful? Yeah, absolutely. But if you’re down for roughing it a bit and want your children to experience someone else’s reality for a minute, then I’d say add Vietnam to your bucket list. Good food and great people! (Blog post with all the details coming next week)
Instagram vs. Reality: Vietnam Edition! 💤
The older my daughter gets, the more like me she becomes. She’s the perfect balance of sassy and sweet. She’s proud of her accomplishments and deeply angered by her failures. She’s girly and creative and perceptive and manipulative. It’s like looking into a bloody mirror. A much prettier, smaller mirror. But it’s definitely a reflection I’m familiar with! And while I never expected that this could be possible - a girl becoming so much like father - I absolutely positively adore the growing comparisons. 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️
When I first became a father, I developed a strange new fear. It reminded me of being twelve again, afraid of “rubbing my gay” in peoples faces. But there I was, a grown ass man, worried what other people would think when they saw this gay, modern family walking down the street. Will they know? Or stare and snicker? Will they ask uncomfortable questions or think we’re uncles? No. The answer is no. No one seems to care. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. They love it. Most people smile and wave and give a “yassss” look. People are seriously so wonderful when they find out we’re a family. It’s such a relief. And at the same time so normal and consistently awesome that the word relief doesn’t even have a place. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 For a long time I prayed that #ItGetsBetter would come true for me. But when I got older I realised that #IGotBetter, which is why it became easier to be and live and love authentically. Now, as a proud father, I’m realising that #TheyGetBetter, too. And for that, I am extremely grateful. It’s a great time to be gay! 🌈
This is a Parenting Public Service Announcement (PPSA): Needing a break from your children does NOT make you a bad person. Motherhood and fatherhood is bloody difficult. Asking for some time to relax and rejuvenate is NOT something you should be ashamed of. In fact, raising your hand and asking for some time away can make you a more patient and compassionate parent. A replenished and revitalised mum is a better mum. A relaxed dad who misses his children is a better dad. So don’t let people (other parents) make you feel guilty about taking two date nights in one week or prioritising a weekend away. Heck, go wild and ask for an hour of alone time to go shopping and use the toilet in peace. It's like the airplane security demonstrations says: you have to put your own oxygen mask on before you can help others. ♥️ #parentsIRL
