So I really wanted to keep this from being a parenting blog. I started 4 or 5 different posts and then realized they were all about my kid, or raising my kid, or being gay while raising a kid... and I fought against those posts. I deleted them and told myself I would come back when my mind was free and clear of having a child! I would come back and write about anything other than being a parent. I fought against making any posts about parenting, thus I didn't write any posts, for fear they would turn into parenting posts.
Then I realized this was crazy and I need to get over it.
I want to write. I want to write this blog and be all over the spectrum of topics like I used to be. I want to make sure I can continue writing about being gay and gay issues, but also my own writing and everything! But I realized in all my deleting and rewriting and just not writing that I had changed. Yes, I am still a writer. Yes, I am still an out and proud gay man. But I am also a parent.
And parenting, especially right now, is connected to everything I do.
So while this blog isn't a parenting blog, I am a parent who writes this blog and there will probably be some bleed in of my daily life with baby. And that's okay. It's my blog.
Anyway, I just wanted to put this out. As to why I've not written in a while and really as a warning. If parenting blogs or bloggers talking about their family/kids bothers you, perhaps it's time you move on.
Until Next Time.
