life for a miller: February 2013
http://lifeforamiller.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Grab my button, share my blog! Friday, February 1, 2013. February - The Month of Love (oh brother). It's natural to get that warm fuzzy feeling when someone talks about the birth of their child, or their son's wedding, or best friend's farewell party. I'm not super ooey-gooey, but I get it. But when someone talks about their spouse and you get a glimpse of genuine love. That's what gets me emotional. I said ya, when you make that promise it's forever. That's what we had in mind. To be spontaneous. To...

life for a miller: January 2013
http://lifeforamiller.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Grab my button, share my blog! Wednesday, January 30, 2013. It's been exactly 2 weeks since I started some serious juicing (January 16) , and let me tell ya - I'm feeling great. So great that exactly 1 week ago, I decided to focus on eating only fruits and vegetables. With a few exceptions (two occasions that come to mind), I've stuck to it! Probably the biggest thing was, I didn't feel deprived. I don't feel AT ALL. Like I'm on a diet. I just am choosing to eat better. And the automatic result. Don't se...

life for a miller: January 2012
http://lifeforamiller.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Grab my button, share my blog! Sunday, January 29, 2012. I'm pissed. I'm exhausted. I'm done. I'm tired of dealing with sick kids, with a frustrated husband, with pop in the bathtub, with throw up everywhere, with fevers, ear aches and hives. I'm done with making decisions and being responsible. F* * that. I'm done. I'm so sick of being frustrated. I'm sick of life these last three months. Here's the run down:. Stuffy nose, cough, fever, teething, rolling over :), trying to crawl. Amount spent at Kaiser ...

It's a dad thing....: February 2011
http://fatherwork.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
It's a dad thing. Thursday, 3 February 2011. Paternity test had me fooled. First of February and I mistook it for April Fools Day. Paternity tests went on sale at Boots, making them the first UK high street retailer to do so. Mused recently on his blog about whether extending paternity leave was a form of social engineering by the government. But paternity has already been socially engineered. Whereas maternity begins with conception, we’re already socially programmed to think that paternit...The problem...

It's a dad thing....: March 2010
http://fatherwork.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
It's a dad thing. Wednesday, 31 March 2010. Paternity leave rights confusion for fathers. Working Families, a leading UK work-life balance organisation, identified fathers as one of five problem areas for policy in a report published this month. It identifies the long notice period and service requirements as excluding a number of potential fathers from receiving paternity leave entitlements. The report is based on data from the Working Families helpline calls received during 2009. Details of workplace r...

It's a dad thing. Sunday, 20 June 2010. For my daddy.on Fathers Day. Links to this post. Monday, 7 June 2010. Should Fathers Day be celebrated? Do your children see mothers and fathers as different? Do you think Mothers Day and Fathers Day should be celebrated separately (or even at all)? Leave your comments and vote in my poll on the left-hand sidebar. Links to this post. Friday, 4 June 2010. Weekend is the daddy of all daddy shifts. It’s Friday and according to the results of my second snapshot p...

It's a dad thing....: Are you a good dad? Hmmm........
http://fatherwork.blogspot.com/2010/07/are-you-good-dad-hmmm.html
It's a dad thing. Thursday, 29 July 2010. Are you a good dad? So you do research with fathers? A couple of men turn their heads sharply in my direction. The women watch through the corner of their eyes – yes, we know you’re listening. But one or two men step closer creating a safer space to talk about ‘gender-wars’. They’re curious….and so am I. What’s she going to say? What are they going to say? Are you a good dad? Heck, I don’t know. Am I a good mum? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

It's a dad thing....: May 2010
http://fatherwork.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
It's a dad thing. Friday, 28 May 2010. Stepping up or aside - it's personal. A host of research provides different types of ‘evidence’ to back up both arguments. Is it that fathers encounter barriers such as policy, work commitments or social norms (Lewis 1986; Lewis and O’Brien 1987; Burgess 2008, 2005, 1997; Collier and Sheldon 2008; Fatherhood Institute 2008)? Our first nappy change! We’d joked about this before at our NCT classes: how do you dress a baby? 8221; Why me? Of course, as the days went by,...

It's a dad thing....: Men's Hour: are you listening?
http://fatherwork.blogspot.com/2010/08/mens-hour-are-you-listening.html
It's a dad thing. Sunday, 8 August 2010. Men's Hour: are you listening? Men’s Hour on Radio 5 Live! And then the bigger question, of course, was whether the programme title was likely to hook any readers. As a fatherhood researcher I was alerted, and as a woman I was curious to quietly listen in to an exclusive boys’ club. A bit voyeuristic, I know….but I suspected not that many secrets were going to be aired. Update: it is on iPlayer - just maybe not on sunday mornings :)]. 21 August 2010 at 17:36.
