The Daddy Complex

If and Then

lettersforharper:

If you are not married then do not give marriage advice.

If you are not a parent then don’t give parenting advice.

This times a million.

When something like this gets posted, invariably people say “Yes, but there’s nothing wrong with offering perspective” or some similar defense.

You know what? There is something wrong with offering perspective because “perspective,” by definition, means you’re looking at something, not being that something.

High-res Here you see the Lost Boys exploring the abandoned zoo in Griffith Park.
We had a Father’s Day picnic with a few other friends there. All of our boys pretended to be lions and gorillas in the empty paddocks.
My wife and I brought a pitcher of mimosas and, after we’d polished it off, realized we should’ve offered some to the other parents.
Oops.
Anyway, prepare yourself for a few pics from this outing tomorrow.
