Father of the Year, or Creepy Man at the Playground

creepy dad

The other day Rob and I took the kids to the playscape at a nearby mall.

And a brief caveat: It's kinda weird to be married and write about a past relationship. I don't really plan to do that with the exception of British Pete. As you will soon see, Pete came with enough drama to fuel a mini-series. He got happily married about six months after we broke up, so I don't feel badly about how things ended.  Read more >
