In many ways, it was a typical Father's Day for Jon Gosselin. The day was spent at home with his kids. A Slip-N-Slide was set up in the front lawn for everyone to enjoy. And homemade cards from all eight of his little ones - Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel - commemorated the day. Jon Out Late, Minus Kate

In other ways, however, Jon's special day was far from normal. According to People, four teenage girls paid the reality star a visit. Stopping their car in front of the house, they yelled: "Happy … Read More

Right around this time, my Amy and I decided to move to California. Perhaps a fresh start, a fresh perspective would help. 

My wife's doctor in NY sent her to a doctor in Beverly Hills, who sent her to a fertility specialist, who sent me a doctor whose first name sounded a lot like "Pappy." He was the doctor to see for guys whose guys need to get going. 

Pappy had a slightly goofy personality. … Read More

When I look back on the courtship that led to my marriage, I fast forward through a carousel of emotionally charged moments: the night we met, the night we first slept together (not the same), a postcard she sent me, our first weekend away together, a Ray Charles concert, a birthday party (mine), a birthday party (hers), a Hamptons summer rental, a Sam Cooke album, an Al Green concert, a vacation in Europe where I almost proposed but didn't, … Read More

This Father's Day it's nice to remember that dads are pretty important to learning the ropes when it comes to love and relationships, especially for boys. I'd say that if you compare dad's presence, when it comes to love stuff, with a NASA rocket that dad's presence, when it comes to love stuff, is way more important.

Dudes who grow up without a dad (or at least an active, positive male role model, like a Bernie Mac character) are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to romance. While some of 'em figure it out, lots are mama's boys, resentful … Read More

In the fall of 1994, I was devastated when my fiancé told me that he felt we needed a break. He was returning to Austin, Texas without me; I would stay in Dallas with my family.

I couldn't speak—my throat had a honest-to-goodness lump and my eyes were swollen. When I got home I went straight to my room. Upon emerging, my father had a hug waiting and had taken down each and every photo of me and my fiancé, replacing them with crazy family pictures. I have no doubt that my mother was also instrumental in this … Read More

As with all couples, the birth of our son, Emerson, on April 15, 2008, changed our family forever. For my wife and I, it ushered in an era of marital strife that we'd never experienced. Before Emerson's arrival we'd been able to focus exclusively on each other. Even without kids, our marriage required hard work, and we were only balancing the needs of each other. Now we had to consider him as well.

I had grown up in a service-oriented house, where actions were our way of showing love; my parents appreciated and rewarded obedience. As the middle child … Read More

We normally spent an inordinate amount of time talking about husbands, boyfriends, potential boyfriends, exes, etc., but there's no guy in you’re life that should be at the top of your list on June 15th. Father's Day is fast approaching, and you’ll need ample time to pull off a great gift. Luckily, we have the perfect one in mind. What better way to cherish memories than a personalized book? No, not some lame-o cut and paste, middle-school version (no offense, scrap-bookers), but a genuine printed, bound book full of art, pictures, poems, whatever will tell Dad he's #1. … Read More
