thedaddycomplex: I’d like to make an announcement to the parenting blogging/Tumbling community: I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m Forrest Gumping my way through this fatherhood thing and I’ve set the bar pretty low simply to avoid panic and depression. Seriously, the day counts as a success if my boys aren’t… Ditto, all of that.

I like how Path’s caption to me getting 6hrs of sleep is, “Sleep? Who needs sleep?” But Quinn actually slept through THAT ENTIRE TIME = best sleep I’ve had in months. ; )

I know a few people who work with troubled youth.
