There are alot of jokes about how men fail at Fatherhood. But God would not have given us that awsome responsibility if we were not up for the challenge. We all fall short in everything we attempt. As your Father there are many things I wish I would have done differently. It is always easier to be smarter after the fact. But I have never wished not to be a Father. Part of the joy of being a Grandparent is learning about Parenting from our children. Stay the course Jared & Kelly. I'm really enjoying the show! Love, Ian's Gandpa. Jared…..I agree.

The fact that all posted comments are positive in your favor, not to mention 'ALL' were submitted by 'women'...well, pretty much sums it up!! Jared, for those of us who have watched you grow from a child, boy, teenager, man, husband and now father, respect and admire your direct, humorous and best of all 'eloquent' approach to fatherhood! I'm curious, do you own any remotes? It is apparent the commentator Gwen Macsai is just that….a “common-tator”!

I'm not sure if I've introduced myself to you before or not, so I'll do it again to cover the bases. When I friend of mine from college was expecting her first child, someone told her about your journal as a new father and how awesome it was. As my husband and I are now expecting our first, I especially appreciate your commentaries to try and understand what goes on for him. One thing the two of us have often talked about is how society sees fathers as idiots... or maybe more clearly I should say women feel they can get away with saying these horrible things about men. I don't know when that became accepted, but I applaud you for writing what you did. I wish more men would complain about this behavior as well. Hi!
