    8 Important Qualities Your Child’s Teacher Must Have

    September 28, 2017 /

    “Hey I don’t care if you do the work, or whether you pass or not, I get paid regardless” Sound familiar? Readers, we’ve all been there with teachers. We’ve had good ones, bad ones, and great ones. We’ve had ones that played the role of psychiatrist, therapist, an uncle/aunt figure, and even some like a second mother or father. We’ve even had ones that would repeat the aforementioned phrase or one that’s eerily close. Well going off my experiences in my school career, here’s to me what makes a model educator. Determination and dedication To make a small connection here, if you’re an athlete with God-given ability, you don’t have…

    6 Ways Women can Avoid Needless Drama in Their Lives

    February 15, 2017 /

    After having written Dear Men, Here’s 6 Simple Ways to Avoid Foolishly Ruining Your Lives, I would be remiss if I didn’t do the same for the softer sex. Let’s get right to it. Have Children too Young ‘Young’ can be open to interpretation and be quite a broad adjective. Allow me to be more specific in terms of what ‘young’ is meant here. And I won’t define it as ‘not being ready’ because you could be 32  years old making a very desirable salary, be totally financially independent and still not ready to have a child. If this were to occur you under these circumstances as described above, at least you would…

    Dear Opinionated Male, Before I start I just wanted to let you guys know I enjoy your articles, very thought out and germane. I hadn’t heard of you guys until a very close acquaintance told me about this site so I decided to check you guys out and I must say I am impressed. Awesome! Okay I digress. I am in a tough situation. I met this guy (we’ll call him Eric) at my friends 30th birthday party this past March. We exchanged numbers and hit it off instantly. We have been exclusive since the beginning of June and everything has been going great.  I have a son who is…

    Is there Room for Traditional Values in Today’s Culture?

    February 8, 2015 /

    “Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free”. “Boys shack up, men provide a home”. We’ve all heard the old clichés and idioms involving the norms of society when it comes to people and relationships. Have you ever stopped and wondered to yourself if the old-fashioned norms and ways are still in full effect? Are they just ‘old’ and shouldn’t be followed anymore? Does or should it even apply to me anyway? Well, lets examine some of the ways of yesteryear and see how relevant (or not) they are today. Let’s chop it up…. Living together before marriage vs Marriage first This has always been debated among people…

    December 9, 2013 /

    You ever look around and say to yourself, “That’s too much”, or “Things have gone too far, and need to stop”? Well here is my rendition of these things. This is a poem I wrote a few years back. Some of it is a bit dated but much of it rings true today.  I call this one, “Too Many”. Enjoy. ‘Confessions of a Soul That’s Seen Too Many…’ Too many young ones walk the streets with no direction Too many tv commercials offer drugs to those who can’t  get an erection Too many cities are segregated into rich and poor sections Too many children out there in need of love and…

    6 Valuable Things Parents can Learn From Their Children

    September 18, 2013 /

    “I did my best”, “Mom/Dad why don’t you get me?”, “Well dad said I could”. If these phrases have been familiar to your ears then there must be a reason. I am all for parents who are strict within reason and raising their families with somewhat of an ‘old-school flavor’ so to speak. However there are some parents who just don’t understand what’s going on. So with that being said, here are 6 things parents should learn from their children (some of these apply especially for new parents). We make mistakes too Coming in past curfew, getting drunk at a party, getting a ticket on your car are all examples…

    Improve Your Co-Parenting Relationship with These Common Sense Tips

    Several weeks ago Cortonio and I published, “Single Parents: Is it Better to Have Children outside of Marriage?” where for the first time, we collaborated giving our respective takes on the topic. There were some great comments left by several of our readers who decided to weigh in with their thoughts. One reader in particular ‘Aly’ left a comment that stuck out for me and is also the motivation behind today’s post.  Here is an excerpt of what she had to say: “Instead of trying to convince people with a bunch of scary statistics that marriage is the best option for a happy, well-adjusted child, it’s time to shift the…

    10 Things Every Mother Should Teach Their Daughters

    March 13, 2013 /

    In a previous post I wrote, “10 Things Every Father Should Teach Their Sons“, and I thank you all for the feedback.  The other day a friend of mine asked, “Cortonio, why don’t you do one on mothers and daughters?” So to not discriminate (LoL) I will do one. There are so many young women today who wander life aimlessly getting themselves into situations that often tend to prove detrimental. Many of them didn’t have the proper guidance and teaching from their mothers because: (a) they [mothers] had them at a very young age and didn’t know how to fully instill morals and values in their daughters; (b) they probably…

    10 Things Every Father Should Teach Their Sons

    March 4, 2013 /

    Any man can be a father but not every man can be a dad. This is a rather true statement.  There are some men out there who have left their responsibilities because maybe, just maybe they didn’t know HOW to be a dad and show their son the way. Well I’m not a guru on lots of things, but I hope this list of things can be an “instruction manual” so to speak. An 099 class (for all of you college goers). This list isn’t in any particular order. 1. Let’s talk about sex baby I was recently watching “Boyz In The Hood” and there was a scene where Furious…
