When my wife decided to start what is most likely the millionth “mom blog” we thought it would be interesting to add a dad’s perspective to some of the posts. Instead of simply adding a section to her blog we also decided it would be a great idea to spend twice as much time, money and effort to create an entirely separate blog. Well done us…

I was thinking that I would try to include some sort of science or technology related topic in each post, but upon further consideration I decided it would be pretty stupid to paint myself into a corner like that. So the reference to science in the site name is just about meaningless (sorry, if you were looking for a site about the actual science of parenting, I really can’t help you, other than to say – give up, no amount of peer reviewed psychological nonsense is going to figure out this whole parenting thing for you).

Even though I don’t want to commit to the whole science or technology thing, I will attempt to keep a “parenting” theme running through most of the posts. Not that I have anything really useful to say on the topic. My main parental responsibility involves trying really hard not to swear excessively in front of the kid – its a real pain in the ass – see.

If you actually want to find effective, meaningful and useful information about raising a daughter you may want to visit my wife’s site: www.theartofbeingmom.com.

Cast of Characters

Me (Adam) – 30

The Wife (Courtney) -29

The Kid (Anna) – 2

The Cat – Our oldest pet. She’s a good cat, she minds her own business and appreciates a little attention now and then.

The Kitten – Our youngest pet, you may know her by her more common name – Satan. Seriously, she sucks. In addition to destroying nearly all of our furniture because she refuses to use a scratching post, she is also the most needy god-damn animal I’ve ever encountered. Its like she has some sort of sixth sense where she is able to tell when you least want her around and she then ensures that she is able to bother you at that exact moment.
