In yet another episode that makes me question whether I am seriously cut out for the fatherhood gig that I have taken on someone has sent me a link to a website and as wrong as I know it is I just can’t take it seriously.
The website  www.fatherhood.org is for an organisation that sets out to provide valuable training, information and other resources for fathers.
I know this is a worthwhile cause, I know this is a much needed resource and of great value in the community where so many men (myself included at times) struggle with what it means to be a father. But the more I read of it, the more I think of that Simpsons episode when Homer takes the test from the National Fatherhood Institute or whatever it is called - you know the one, when he and Bart end up building the boxcar together.
Actually if I was completely honest I would have to confess that I have received most of my parenting advice from Homer Simpson, Al Bundy and Hank Hill, hmmmm ………….. maybe I should give that website a second look after all.
