I am a 27 year old father of three. My first born is 9 so do the math….. I have been a parent for almost 10 years and they all seem to be still living so I can’t be doing that bad of a job….
I’m right behind you… just turned 27, and my kid is turning 8 next month. LOVE LOVE LOVE the blog, I’m putting you on my blogroll if that’s okay 🙂 I figure if it makes my MIL choke, its all good!
LOVE IT! And here I am with my blog, being a total dork by writing advice that I’m sure my tween niece will merely scoff at anyway… I think your approach is much more helpful. Go Go fkdupdad!
Enjoy the blog! This is exactly how I was raised and I turned out fine. I’ll let some of my buddies know about this blog because their kids are ruining their lives. Some might say children are a gift, but I say a gift is something you can return for store credit!
What’s so crazy about having 3 kids at 27? I had 3 but they were younger…3, 2 and 1 years old. By 29 I had 4 kids.
Anyway…hilarious blog. Love the tips on choosing a favorite. My almost 9yo agrees that the favorite would be the youngest (who is 3). Now to find her a crown and sash, lol.
This is so funny! What a great blog idea! I write a blog that is on football and gifts which is also a strange twist. Check it out and let me know if you like it. I suspect that the “Matt Cassel” post is totally your style. It isn’t a recent post, but you can find it under “June 2009”. Again, thanks for the laughs!
It’s refreshing to find another parent who can look at child rearing through sarcasm coated glasses. My new mantra for my kids is “everyone says ‘I want to be successful’ when I grow up, but how many people say ‘I want to be mediocre’? See, now you ARE special!”
Hey, I am at the other end of the scale… I am a 38 year old father of one. The looks are gone, the energy is fading fast and I contemplate at least once a day how much I would get for my kid on ebay…
Nice blog.
I stumbled upon your site while searching for info about Children’s Benadryl (for a sick cat). I’ve laughed so hard that my ribs are hurting!
My mom had my sister at 17 and me at 20 (then had her tubes tied a few weeks later). Like my mom always says, “Kids don’t come with an owner’s manual…you make it up as you go along!”
Okay! I must be tired because I just realized you are serious! OMG! Well, at least your kids won’t be the spoiled rotten, disrespectful, incapable, selfish kids that seem to be sprouting everywhere from enabling parents that ARE way too nice and permissive and don’t realize they are raising emotionally stunted children that don’t know they can do it for themselves because their parents never give them the chance, from making friends to deciding how to spend their free time!
The profanity is not my favorite part as I have seen far too many kids in school imitate their parents’ foul mouths, but at least you let them know you are not f#$*ng around!

I love your site! I alwasy wanted to be a “bad advice” columnist for parents. I actually write down some of the screwed up things I do on my “Dear Nicholas and Your Future Therapist” blog. You seem like a kindred spirit.
These flashes of brilliance are moments I’m going to have to remember for the day that I have kids. I’m a firm believer that your kids have to think you’re just a little crazy… I’m pretty sure yours do! Nice job, Peter! *haha*
I can’t believe it took me over a year to read this after it was suggested by our coworker. As a 28 year old dad of two, I laughed my @#% off going through them! Good job!

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it…. Yeah. I try not to believe I have three kids too sometimes… JK….. Thank you again..
Twenty-seven and three kids? My, you’ve been busy!
At least you’ll never be too old to enjoy them.
Peace!
Yes, being so young I get to enjoy them longer… LOL…
hey – you’ll be a young grandmother, like me; I’m 43 and my grandson’s 1!

Genius. And that’s all I have to say.
Thank you so very much!

Thank you! You can sell them on the blackmarket? LOL

Nice blog. Keep up the good work.
Holy shit I think I just peed my pants. My kids think I’ve finally flipped my wig, sitting here laughing at a screen.
[Of course I’m ignoring them while surfing your blog… they need to learn to entertain themselves.]
JC on a pogo stick, you are one funny man.
i have been cracking up for the past 15 mins.
