One Of The Hardest Things About Being A Dad In 2019

Hey there Incredidads. Maybe you haven’t noticed but I haven’t flipped on the IncrediSignal in a few weeks. I hope you haven’t noticed because that means, like me, you are trying to vanquish one of the vilest super-villains an IncrediDad can face; putting down the phone.

Bed Time

Although it happens around the same time every night, Boy Wonder acts like I'm sentencing him to hard time behind bars.

T.V. Dads

Can we all agree that t.v. dads are terrible fathers? These guys gave me the wrong idea about fatherhood from the very beginning. I had visions, trapped in the golden age of sitcoms, wrapped in a cardigan sweater, and aged in the homey aroma of pipe tobacco, that played out with me resembling a frighteningly Frankensteined combination of Mike Brady, Mr. Rogers, Ward Cleaver, and Mr. Feeney.

Picture Day

Day care sent home a letter that Picture day is next week. Now maybe it's because we have cameras on our phones these days but I started asking myself, do I really need that? Don't I have three hundred pictures of Boy Wonder in the same pose already? "Oh look! There's another one of him sleeping. I'm sorry I don't have any recent ones, this is from a month ago. He looks totally different now."…

Super Hero Training

I have terrible news to share with you. IncrediDad is no more. My new moniker is Daddy Evil . . . No, I don't like the sound of that. Let's try it again. I am BadDad! ArchNemesis to Boy Wonder. Why the sudden name change? As you know, IncrediReaders, we started him in daycare and, even though he survived pledge week, he is not a fan.

Pledge Week At Day Care

Forget about learning shapes, colors, and numbers at Day Care. I've got a theory about what really happens after we drop off our kids and head to work. To get the scoop, I've sent my faithful sidekick, Boy Wonder, deep under cover, to reveal what really happens over a week at daycare. At pick up on Tuesday, his speech was slurred.

On To The Next Adventure

“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching.” –- Anonymous To be the hero they deserve I've been told that a lot of young children see their fathers as superheros.

Save Money On Your Next Hotel Stay!!!

A road trip from California to New York with a toddler and a cat was unpredictable at best. The last thing that we wanted to worry about was making "good time" getting to a specific hotel every night. Have you ever noticed that Dads have an obsession with "making good time"? Not once have I ever attended the Making Good Time Awards Ceremony but I'm sure it's filled with balding men wearing…
