Welcome To My Blog: E-Moirs Of A Stay At Work Dad

Patch welcomes its newest blogger, Jim Barbarino who shares his parenting bog, E-Moirs Of A Stay At Work Dad.

Thirteen years ago, I realized that due to the fact that both my wife and I work long hours, and that our friends and family were scattered about, they were missing out on getting to know my girls. I started sending emails as a way of keeping them informed of their growth and the development of their individual personalities. The anecdotes are mainly humorous accounts, but also reflect how I view parenting, marriage, and life in general. My philosophy as a parent is simply to instill confidence, teach the meaning of love, and to value the importance of family.

I believe that E-Moirs Of A Stay At Work Dad will attract many readers who have similar experiences with their children. It may encourage them to chronicle accounts, but more importantly, to listen, resulting in a valuable treasure to be cherished for years to come.

"The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it." - Margaret Fuller
