Attention All Readers! Ask DadCentric!
We'll be the first to admit it: sometimes we're hard-pressed to come up with stuff to write about. This is because we can sometimes be a bunch of lazy clock-watching slackasses who'd much rather be watching the latest Galactica ep mentally and emotionally drained from trying to maintain the whole work-life balance thing. So we're opening the floor to you, Dear Readers: send your questions to this address and we'll answer them on a weekly basis. Ask us anything. Ask your favorite contributor. Ask the group as a whole. I'll pick the best questions and run them on a weekly basis. If yours is selected, you'll win...well, you won't win anything. Except the fame that comes along with having your name up on a website that's read by billions millions hundreds dozens of people every day.
Okay, here are some questions (for any/all of you).
What things did you promise yourself you'd never say/ do as a parent, but find yourself doing anyway and why?
What is the most trouble you were ever in as a kid and how did your parents handle it?
Most interesting brush with the law?
Who is the public figure you admire most and why? Least and why?
Who is your favorite character from literature and why? Least favorite and why?
If you were a superhero, who would you be and how would you defeat your nemesis?
If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?
What surprised you most about becoming a dad?
According to other people, which famous person (living or dead) do you most look like?
How did you meet your wife and when did you know she was 'the one'?
What was the most creative way a gal has ever dumped you?
okay, now get to answering!

Those are good questions.

Damm, I think Kara asked everything I could have come up with and more. But I always ask this one, if you could spend an hour with anyone famous, dead or alive, who would it be and why? And lets see, did you learn how to be a dad by watching your own dad (or father figure), or are you trying to do the exact oppisit of you dad? Also, I will yet again steal the one Dooce asked. What do you hope your children grow up to become?

Wow, Kara's list of questions should keep the crew tied up for the next months, not just a week!
I'm always interested in some of those more controversial questions, although they are always popping up on the media. Any Triple F show (Fats, Freaks and Finance) - that is, any so called Current Affairs News Show - will generally have them. So:
To Smack or Not to Smack?
Should you put your kids in Childcare?
Is a stay at home Dad better than a stay at home Mum, or doesn't it make any difference?
When do you tell your kids the REAL story about Santa (or the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy...)?
Ciao for Now.
