Single Moms–The Root of All Evil
Earlier this week, Ann Coulter went on the Today Show with Matt Lauer to promote her new book. Of course, Ann is never one to shy away from controversy and her latest gaffe is no exception. Watch this clip. She feels that single moms are the cause of all that is bad in the world–I guess us single dads escaped this time! What do you think? Let’s discuss! If you want to check out some more opinions from a friend of mine, Rachel Sarah, on MomLogic!…
Airfare Price Buster
One of our readers just found some terrific air pricing for our Turks & Caicos trip this year. Non stop from Philadelphia for $286.00. If you are considering joining us, this fare is fantastic and I would jump on it right away.…
Dating, Kids, and Introductions
As a single parent, when do you introduce your kids to a new “significant other”? I have read all the theories about children becoming too attached too fast to a new boy or girlfriend, but does that change with age? Does it make a difference if you have 100% custody? My basic rule is no introductions (but they might know about her) until I am sure that it is something more than a few casual dates. However, I have also broken the rule a few times when my kids knew…
We are on Facebook
Part of my New Year’s resolution is to learn the social networks a lot better. I am on Linked-In and now Single Parent Travel has their own Facebook Page. I am still learning Facebook, so if any of you experts out there want to be an Administrator, let me know and you can help me modify it. I do have a bet with my son (and I hate to lose) that I cannot get 1000 fans of the page in a month. I am getting a three day jump start…

My Kids Are Great
Yes, this is a self aggrandizing post, but I just need to say it! I am totally bummed that they are not with me for Christmas dinner (is McDonald’s open?) but thrilled that they were here this morning to experience the magic of Christmas. We are all non-believers at this point, but believe me the magic is there! But hey, they are coming back to me tomorrow so all is well in the Frenaye house! My youngest really outdid herself this year. I got a handmade folder (and I am…
The Traveling Pants
Brenda sent along this note and I thought–why didn’t I think of that! But what a fantastic idea for a great memory. When my physical therapist and her sister were in their early teens, their parents divorced. Their father decided to embrace his new role as a single parent. Shortly after the separation, he took his 2 daughters for a 2 week trip, a week in London and a week in Israel. Not knowing how to occupy them for the long plane trip (this was before the proliferation of our…
Travel While You Are Young
While THIS ARTICLE is targeted to young adults, it does have some great reasons to travel while you are young which apply to the much younger crowd that we have. I know that from my own personal travels, my children have met a wide range of people, are more polite and accepting of people that are different, hopefully are more worldly and intelligent (sometimes I wonder), and have a decided appreciation for what it is that we have here in the U.S. When a teacher tries to prevent travel, I…
