When a Single Parent and Child Both Get Sick

Oct 20, 2009
My son came down with a fever this past weekend. Stuffy nose, tired, achy. He had a mixture of cold and flu symptoms. No fun for him, at all. When Monday hit, he was still sick. No problem, I...

Older Men and Younger Women

Happy Birthday EX – Post Divorce

Age is Killing My Eyes (Humor)

Dec 2, 2009
Like any Hot Dad, as I get older, body parts are starting to go. Thankfully, no gray hairs… no wrinkles… (okay, not many) no spare tire… (hey, I cycle and run!) But my eye sight? Oy! Head over to the Hot Dads Blog for a funny look at my vision as...

Breaking Up Just Before Things are Perfect

Dec 1, 2009
Imagine you’re a single parent, dating someone you’re sure is the love of your life. But just when things are about to become perfect – your soul-mate breaks up with you. Know the feeling? I certainly do. No, this isn’t a pity party. I’m...

Single Dad Dating – Where's the Line of Women?

Nov 30, 2009
I recently attended a broadcast performance of the opera Turandot. When I blogged about the evening, a married mom asked: And you don’t have the ladies lined up at the door? What’s up with that? I had to laugh. As a single dad dating, I hear lines...

  Here are the top three reasons that David Mott's blog, Dadshouse, is in my blog reader: (1) He acknowledges the complexity of working a relationship into a busy schedule in a way that I can relate to emotionally even though I'm not a single parent, (2) He gives concrete examples rather than hackneyed cliches--that level of specificity makes his advice actually applicable, and (3) the writing is actually great, which you can't say about over 90% of blogs out there. I'm a fan for good.

  Great view into the world of a single dad. Not the dead-beat/ goofing around type of single dad, but the type that actually cares/takes care of his kids on top of trying to recreate relationships/have fun. Being a woman and mostly hearing from single women's point of views re. parenting, relationships, etc, it's very insightful for me to read about these experiences from a male perspective! I come to it regularly to see what the latest "Dad's House" experience has been- could be a kid-related story or some weird hook-up... either way, good writing/interesting/fun!

  Dad’s House offers intelligent, witty insight into the life of a remarkable father and his single parenthood. His thoughts on being a father,ex-husband,single man,boyfriend,ex-boyfrien d,booty call partner,friend,cyclist, sailor and red hat-wearing camper are written in a way that appeals to an eclectic mix of dedicated readers. Whether 20's pick-up artist, 30's married/divorced/single moms & dads, or 40's childless (or is that childfree!) bachelors from all walks of life, DH’s humor, personality and style draw you in. You find yourself laughing out loud with coffee shooting out your nose one minute and sentimentally misty eyed the next. David is a gifted communicator; his blog makes you grateful he’s chosen to share his thoughts & stories and that you’ve stumbled across them.

  Ever wonder what the search for love would be like for a single father? Try David Mott's blog, Dad's House. It's one of my favs. Strong writing, good humor, very real, very honest, and recipes to boot! it's everything I look for in a blog. Parenting isn't necessarily something I'm moved by, but David's take on his family and relationships in general are very compelling. Technically, his site is laid out well and easy on the eyes, so to speak, so it makes reading and returning no problem.
