New Chicago SAHD

sph3re — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:08:01 -0500

Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself - My name is Stephen. I am new to the SAHD routine and new to these forums. My wife and I have a four month old son, Archer, and live in the Ukrainian Village of Chicago. In my previous life I worked in college/university administration, and currently I help teach a course on that subject at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm a huge music geek, a home brewer, and sports fan. Really looking forward to becoming part of this community and meeting up with those of you local to Chicago.

Cheers,
Stephen

Beer and Braids: CBC Radio - The Current - Decemeber 24th, 2009

Canadian.Bloke — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:02:24 -0500

I listened to a re-broadcast of this show on the radio on my way home from dropping my daughter at play school a few weeks ago.

It was what led me to this site.

http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/2009/200912/20091224.html

At the bottom of the page, pick 'Listen to part 3'.

I especially liked the soundbyte from Rev John Hagee. And I too think that if I am on the road to hell, the trip is well worth it!

G'day

Another Canuck saying G'day ...

My name is Steve and I am living in New Brunswick, Canada (north east from Maine). I have been home with my daughter Katrina since she was 3 months old. She is now 3. Also have a son 21, who is still at home, but planning to move out soon (hopefully).

I heard a reference to this site on a CBC radio program and thought I'd drop by and sign up.

Eastern PA Dads

Hi Dads

I have been staying at home with my son exclusively for the last 6 months since I was laid off. I recently accepted a new offer, but my family and I have move to Eastern PA (we live in central Jersey now). If you use daycare (even part time), I'm looking for recommendations for daycare in the Doylestown area. I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!

Is anybody else harder on their son than daughter?

chefdad — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:52:28 -0500

I have an 18 month old daughter and 4 month old son. I treat my son as though he's already trying out for high school football. I find myself telling him to stop crying and suck it up! I realize he's an infant, but I can't help it. I've never treated my daughter this way, and would probably punch someone else in the face if I caught them talking to her in such a way. In my defense, he does have a very irritating and girly cry. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Athletic Dads

chefdad — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:33:24 -0500

Looking for Dads who like to take their kids running, biking, hiking or just playing at the park. Don't have to be super-athletic, just no couch potatoes please. Looking to put together regular events such as stroller runs, bike trailer rides and other fun stuff.

do we really fear change or do we fear what people will think of us.

Passing on skills/passions/hobbies to your kids

tjenkins_1983 — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:07:04 -0500

Ever since we started trying to conceive, I've taken a personal inventory of the things I love to do in preparation for sparking some creativity or passion in my own kid. I'm really into a lot of things and plan on exposing my kid to all of them.

Guitar

Coin collecting

Fishing

Woodworking

Baseball

Road trips/adventuring

Reading (of course)

Target shooting and safety (at the appropriate age)

I was curious as to what everyone else's hobbies are and what things you looked forward to teaching your kids?
