Your Kids Aren’t Ignoring You, They Just Don’t Feel Connected

And you don’t even know how it happened. — Let me tell you a story. It’s a Monday morning. My wife has already left for work and I’m rushing to get both me and our three-and-a-half year old dressed. I’m off to the office, she’s off to nursery (although we all just call it “school”). Things actually start off…

What Do We Want, and When Do We Want It?

Attempting to live more intentionally. — “When I grow up/I’m gonna look up from my phone/And see my life” — Phoebe Bridgers, “Garden Song” It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

Let’s Stop Giving Christmas Gifts to Adults

Just leave that stuff for the children — We’ve all had them. We’ve all given them. The bad Christmas gift. The awful, panicked, last minute, hail Mary gift. Any old perfume for women. The aftershave gift pack for men. …

How Getting Sick Forced Me to De-Stress at Work

Your health is more important than your work — Ask anyone who works with me and they will tell you that I’m the least stressed person they know. There are more difficult, higher pressure jobs, but my job is busy — the kind of busy where the work never stops coming and lunch breaks are sometimes hypothetical. Even when…

John Mulaney Isn’t Your Friend

Let’s stop pretending we have a connection with celebrities beyond the transactional. — I like John Mulaney. Although I should probably rephrase that: I like John Mulaney’s comedy. I like his persona, I like the version of himself he presents at the microphone. Because I don’t know John Mulaney the real person. The same goes for most of his fans. He’s someone we…

How to Use Mundane Tasks You Hate to Establish a Vital Connection With Your Child

How to Set Limits for your Toddler Without Shouting

It can be a real challenge not to raise your voice in the heat of the moment — We’ve all done it.
