Thank you for this series. Parenting is wierd thing for me because I feel like both an old soldier and a guy who is winging it every day. I became a single dad when my kid was a toddler. I always felt at a bit of a disadvantage, but I learned by hard knocks. It is just wierd to not really have another person to check you. But I am remarried as of last fall so now I have that. I told my wife about these posts and we've had some interesting discussions.
