Daddy Cool

The sooner you realize life is not a brand-new car, a bigger house or the latest fucking iPhone 6,7,28 whatever number they are up to, the sooner you will begin to live. Life is having the time to enjoy your morning coffee, not having to drink it standing up in the subway next to the guy with the funky smell. Life is taking the time to be able to take a few deep breaths and enjoy the moment. Did you know that just by looking at water it relaxes you. (even if it’s the Hudson….

Honestly I haven’t heard those words for a very long time. On the contrary I’ve heard my kids use them often on their mother. I’m not impaling she is a bad mother, she is actually a very good one, but doesn’t know how to handle heated situations. She often argues and yells at the kids and loses her cool. You all have to understand, when your kids are not understanding something you are trying to tell them and they start to get upset, it’s not the best time to have a conversat

Best day of the month for me. Pick a day, preferably on the weekend and make sure everyone will be home. This game has only one rule. Go to the electric box and turn off all the switches, except the fridge, stove, air condition, and if you have a grandparent hooked up to some device leave that on also. What does that mean. No smart phones, tv, youtube or anything electronic. Light a couple of candles or put some battery-operated night lights in every room and let the fun begi

Us parents will always see our kids as kids, but after the age of 16-18 depending on where you live, they become adults and can get their drivers license. It’s a great privilege, but it comes with some very important rules. Rules that if broken can be deadly. Sorry to get so serious but with everything happening lately, we must deal with it. The easiest and best way to pass on rules to our kids is by us first obeying them. You can preach all you want, but if your drinking and

We’ve been living in Greece for the last 10 years, so I guess my kids were a little shocked when visiting NY this summer. While shopping in the village a guy in his twenties with some crazy hairdo, walked up to us and offered to sell us marijuana gummy bears. He actually had some weird ass candy in a clear plastic container, and his exact words where “marijuana gummy bears…. Does the body good”. He had definitely eaten some, and was a little scary. The kids were a little spoo

What the fuck is wrong with you soccer moms or whatever they call you. Only one in a million kids makes it to the pros, but you all yell, scream and argue like your kids the one! Even if your kid is the chosen one, if you act like a fucking lunatic you will discourage them at some point. Sports are a way for kids to exercise, make new friends and have fun. That’s it. We had a mother at a soccer game last month throw her coffee at the ref. WTF…. Her kid was good, but hasn’t sh

This poor girl who killed herself live on Facebook, god rest her beautiful soul, was somebody’s neighbor. Mine, yours, someone’s. She was also one of our kid’s classmate, friend, acquaintance. Someone most definitely saw a sign but didn’t act on it. The signs are always there, but unfortunately no one is usually looking. The minute I read this I called my kids to come and see it. Of course, we didn’t see the video and never would, but I wanted to see their reaction. My daught

When was the last time you reassured your kids that no matter what happens in their life, you will be there? Do they know that even if they fail a test in school, do drugs, get pregnant, kill somebody, the one person standing next to them is YOU?!! When you tell your kids you better do good on that test or else, or don’t you dare get into any kind of trouble, or ever worst, "if that was you doing that I would disown you", guess what? The minute they get into any kind of trou

First of all, why would you even choose between these two? Would you ladies get your hair done at a 99cent store, or what about you guys, would you get an oil change at a 7-11? FUCK NO! So why would you feed your kids(and yourself) anything but the best? Eat McDonalds and pizza once or twice a month, but 2-3 times a week???? Why don’t you just commit suicide, its quicker! Instead, how about cooking at home and how about doing it with the kids? Even if you make pizza at home

Well what better way to start my blog, than with things not going the way you want them?!! A few weeks ago my son Harry started going to basketball practice. He loves it and is doing pretty good. Last week the team announced a three day camp during the holidays to improve the kids shooting skills. He liked the idea, his friends were going, so we signed up. This morning was the first day of camp and my phone rang at 8:15 in the morning. It was harry facetiming me. Great i s
