Today we proclaim a monumental honor for Being Michael’s Daddy!
On Teens Today is a modern-day perspective on teens by teens, moderated by Vanessa Van Petten, whose mission is providing a venue where teen writers can “tell parents what they wish their own parents knew (and didn’t know).”
We’ve been voted as one of the 50 Best Dad Blogs. We’re up amongst the best of the best out there, which is a very cool thing for this little blog.
As you’re well aware, Being Michael’s Daddy tends to focus on the minutiae of daily life as a 45-ish father of teenagers and an unexpected and tireless child; we shy away from such weighty matters as politics, environmental concerns, top ten lists and celebrity anxiety. And as for touching, reflective moments, I believe there might have been two last year.
But amongst the leavings and the pith lying upon the floor here, the occasional kernel of valuable parenting material may be discovered.
Evidently Vanessa and her staff have found enough nuggets here to warrant inclusion in this auspicious list. Yes, we do have tips here. We do have advice here. And Michael is rather adorable. Even his sisters think so (when he’s not standing in the way of the TV).
So today, we proudly display our “Voted Best Dad Blog” badge.
Thank you, On Teens Today!
Congrats Brother! That’s quite an honor!!
Congratulations!
Thank you both! I’m pretty excited about it.
Well done! Congratulations!
Thank you!
Rock On! I knew there was a reason I read this blog daily. Now I have validation. Congrats. Even though all my hopes are dashed for ever making a ‘Best Dad’s Blog’ list.
I’d say there’s always hope… but in your case, it’s better to keep things the way they are and maybe shoot for a less Y-chromosome-enabled list.
