There’s been a lot of noise in the media about the so-called “Mommy Wars” which now things seem to be sequeing to “Daddy Wars” – and honestly, the whole thing pretty much makes me nauseous. The deeper I get in the research of this film, the clearer it becomes that most of what we are… Continue Reading

Meet The Vachons – by Director Dana Glazer
Over the past week I have encountered three different people who claim to have been misquoted by the Time Magazine article on dads. Their reactions ranged from annoyance to outrage. I’ve been thinking about this ever since and was about to post here about it, when I discovered that Amy and Marc Vachon did me… Continue Reading
For Charlie, On His 4th Birthday – By Director Dana Glazer
My elder son, Charlie, turns Four tomorrow. Honestly, I really can’t believe it. He’s such a big boy now. It seems like almost yesterday that I was racing back to Jersey from the Hamptons Film Festival after my wife called me to share that Charlie had decided to arrive five weeks earlier than his due… Continue Reading
My #1 Life’s Lesson – By Guest Contributor David Bohl
I was recently asked by Dana Glazer to write about something I’ve learned through my experience as a father. This really got me thinking, as I’ve learned so much throughout my years of making mistakes, correcting them, learning from them, and attempting to change my habits and behavior to create a better life for myself… Continue Reading
Lessons in Forward Thinking – By Director Dana Glazer

If you’ve got a hard copy of the latest Time Magazine (with the breast cancer cover) check out the very end of the “Fatherhood 2.0” article and there’s a small plug for the film with a link to… Continue Reading
The Invisible New Dad – By Director Dana Glazer
It’s fascinating to me how the media keeps playing the same stories over and over again relating to dads. Just this week, there’s a spate of them in Newsweek. The continuing themes are: -At home dads are still referred to as “Mr. Mom” in the headings.-Todays dads are a bit more involved with their kids… Continue Reading
Third Path – By Director Dana Glazer
Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking with Hanne Weedon from a Philly-operated organization called Third Path. What she and Third Path stand for is directly aligned with one of the main issues I’m covering in the film: how to get dads more involved with their families by finding creative solutions to the balance of… Continue Reading
Playing Catch – By Director Dana Glazer
Today our 10 month-old-son did something rather extraordinary. I plopped a tennis ball in his lap and he grabbed it and flung it back at me. It was one of those dad-son moments that one hears about and I can’t tell you how excited I was. Images of years to come – playing catch with… Continue Reading
