Carter from Dadscribe collected the informed(?) opinions of dads from our Dad Bloggers Group, asking who will win the World Series. As Carter describes this post, it's "a peek into the psyche of the 21st century dad." (Who Will Win the World Series? Let’s Ask Dad)

In the last week, I wrote about the people who want to have kids but feel like they shouldn't, because they have been led to believe in parenting rules. I tried to make them feel parenting might be for them after all. (The Case for Having Kids)Also last week, I talked about politics--particularly about the 7 stages of grief I will feel if my kids end up on the wrong side of politics. (Father Son Politics)
BloggerFather--Old Post Revival
On this post from earlier in 2013, I wrote the shocking truth: Dads search for balance too. After an article on Huffington Post predicted that moms-in-search-of-balance stories would dominate parenting issues in 2013, while largely ignoring dads, I thought it was important to say dads have the same problems mothers face when it comes to finding balance. Stories like the one on Huffington Post show why it's so important to have a platform where fatherhood is the main issue, rather than being relegated into a sidenote.

Truth
Also, last week, like many weeks before it, was NOT the date Marty McFly ended up in the future. Hopefully, this diagram by the always helpful Chris from Daddy Doctrines will help us all for a while.
Videos
A few fatherhood-related videos went viral last week. In this one, a kid is very excited about his first bow-ner:
This dad reacts to his son getting a C in math:
This video of a dad imitating his daughter's meltdown also became viral this week. Some of it is because parents are judgmental, and feel the need to argue about whether the dad was shaming his daughter by imitating her. Because they're perfect parents, one must assume.
