This is the third part in my best of series highlighting the best post from the last 12 months as we head towards our first birthday at the end of this month.
In the parenting section, I got a little controversial with some of my posts, covering topics that irritated me at the time. This included topics such as What Is Wrong With The Dads Of This World. Unfortunately, some fathers just aren't fathers when they need to be.
Another set of posts had a dig at society and the media with What Is Wrong With Our Society, which followed a previous post
With our society so intent on hygiene, I had to cover a topic which is I feel very strongly about. I finished up with two posts, Are We Too Clean and one that was fairly similar, it certainly covered the same topic, Cleanliness vs Sterilize.
A news story that struck me was Couple Beheaded, beheaded for cruelty to their daughter - you have to read it.
Finally, being old enough to be a grandad yet being a father of 5 under 6 - all girls at that, I had to write a reflection on Mature Aged Parenting.
I hope you enjoy my year in review posts. It is interesting going back and looking at what I wrote many months ago. It is also interesting to see how my writing has changed since I first started. Enjoy and feel free to criticize.
I get that too
I get the grandfather bit all the time. It was strange in the hospital - there I was with my partner, she is in the process of giving birth and the midwife says I must be a very proud grandfather - it rankles just a little bit at times.
Thanks for your comment.
My grandfather turned 51 2
My grandfather turned 51 2 months after my mother was born, and my grandmother was 35 - unheard of in those days for a mother to be that old. My mother went through life with people thinking that her father was her grandfather.
