Hi all, I'm Anton - this is my first post on FDR . Some of you have probably been in this situation before and I'd be very grateful if you could share your experiences, good or bad. The basic conflict is this: My dad is a total jerk & "bore" most of the time and always tries to...

All hopped up on a whole weekend in the presence of like-minded individuals at Libertopia (except for that lawyer in the mask... Perry Mason WTF?!?) my wife, Kelly, and I both made great strides towards real honesty with our FOOs. A few weeks ago Kelly put up a post on her blog explaining why we don't...

Since I have been listening to FDR, I have seen a dramatic improvement in my dealings with my kids, especially since I let go of the "it must be done" attitude. The "it" being whatever I wanted them to do, clean up toys, eat, etc. I have seen dramatic improvements in their attitudes...
