All to many times we dad's get a bad rap... I hear that Dad's don’t change diapers, they don’t sing songs, and they don’t do the wiggles dance... WELL I DO!!! Please tell me I am not alone!

Dad's
As a father of two, I would be remise if I didn't comment on my two beauties. They are my soul. Even when the little one fills her diaper.

I think I'm somewhere in between, though mostly active. You'd have to ask Hellfire for an honest assessment, however. Please feel free to join in our little gush-fest here.

Lord, didn't know this would bring up so many thoughts...
Lets see,
Dad's Rootbeer: Yes, seconded only by A&W But they have that whole Ice-cream thing going... with out the Ice-cream dead tie.
Cooking: Had you tuned in last night, I had my Yahoo webcam on while I fixed the 5lbs of shrimp I got from the coast. 2.5lbs went to plain peal N eat. 1.25 each went to Garlic sautéed and Hickory sautéed shrimp platters! Had a house full, they always come when I make shrimp! Also, my wife loves to run out of food in the house... because, that’s when I put on my creativity hat and bust out with a 10 course feast made form this and that...
And Turiya, after posting 1253 times in here, I would well imagine you know full well how this got in here!

I am so pumped to here that most of you have great fathers in your homes. Too often, us dad's get a bum rap, and it ticks me off.
But that does appear to be the trend, Dads these days seem to have changed from how our fathers had been. We are more touchy feely then they had been. But have we lost something along the way?

My dad is really active... A little too much so sometimes though. My curfew is ridiculous. But he's always been there... building me a treehouse, making sand castles, reading to me everynight until I fell asleep... Plus he cooks almost everynight! Good stuff too, always trying new and weird recipes.

The Caer is a sort of active dad. He takes over but I always have to ask and that is good enough for me. I do alot of asking. I definately handle the majority of the housework but I stay home too- for now. I also do about 3/5 of the cooking but the really good meals he can take half or more of the credit for. He is a very creative cooker and I always have to go by the book (literally) just to rival one of his feast. I have yet to see him even glance at recipe card in years.
