Jason – thanks for stopping by. Thank you for being there and always knowing when to say the right things. And the feeling is mutual.

Holy god, Dave. Yes, you ARE a writer. This is so powerful, so true – what you’ve written. You’re the best journalist I ever had the honor to work with. Yes, you are a writer.

Dave- thanks, and by the way, and welcome to the blogosphere. I look forward to your posts.

Tara – Thank you for stopping by. I will be certain to check out your work. As for peeking in on a dad’s perspective, I hope what you see doesn’t scare you. Too much. Thank you for the kind words.

Half Man – thank you and I hope so.

Hey there Blogger Dad, just discovered you through Writer Dad and really really enjoyed your piece.
I really do like peeking into a dad’s perspective on parenthood – something that very often gets brushed aside as a kind of ‘oh, he’s only the dad’ thing.
Being in the journo industry myself I can totally relate to your love of your job but sometimes these things happen and it’s the push you need to finally stop and take stock.
I’m so glad you rediscovered your gorgeous little boy and I really do look forward to reading more. X

Blogger Dad,

Just like you I’ve come to realise the value of being at home with my children, because I know I’ll never get these years back again.

If I can at all help it, I won’t go back to what is traditionally regarded as work. I need to find a way of making a living from home and bringing some money into the house.

You are a writer.

I don’t know what I am yet, goddammit, but I’m quite excited about finding out.

I really loved this post.

Cheers
Dave.

Writer Dad – Yeah, 60 hour weeks are killers. I’m sure we will both find the right balance in our lives.

Matthew – Thank you. Maybe I should’ve ended the post with ‘goddammit!’ In fact, that could be a fun way to end every post.

Lance – Thank you. My first instinct was usually to find the negative in the positive (what can go wrong so I can confront it head on), so this is new for me, but I’m adapting.
