The Man Cave

Public Group active 2 months, 4 weeks ago ago

Sites abound for information for parents of kids with special needs, but few Dads participate in them. Why is that? This is a group for Dads of kids with special needs to share the unique challenges and successes that we alone face.

    Emily started the forum topic Research on Fathers of Children with Special Needs in the group Group logo of The Man CaveThe Man Cave: 4 months ago

    I’ve posted elsewhere on this site, but it was recommended that I post here. My brother is a professor and his specialty is studying fatherhood. One of the areas he studies is fathers of children with special needs. Not much has been published on the subject. It’s mostly the mothers who have been focused on. [...]

    I’ve been here off and on a bit (issues) and I’m Michelle. My little boy is CJ. He’s diagnosed with cerebral palsy and intractible epilepsy. I work full time and run a part time personal care business as well as blog about all sorts of stuff: natural hair and skin care, stress management and more. [...]

    After a late evening working on a haunted house with my 11 year old son, we decided to hit the local family sports pub for a little dinner. The waitress, as she was taking our order decided to sit down and chat for a few minutes. Then my son leaned forward, looked her in the eyes and said “you do know he is married don’t you?”
    We spend so many…[Read more]

    Missing game 4 of the Braves playoff series with San Fran, I went to the private screening of Monica & David. Excellent documentary. As a Dad of 2 special needs kids, it reminds me that in the hectic everyday life of insuring that their needs are met, I don’t forget to give them an opportunity to dream and an opportunity to realize that dream.…[Read more]

    Successful meeting with my daughter’s educational team for her IEP, my son made an 88 on his Social Studies test on the Civil War and the Braves squeaked into the playoffs. All and all, a good week.

    By the way, how come only 30 days ago the Braves had the best record in the NL and were leading their division by 3 games and now struggle to try and win the wild card. With a magic number of 2 and 3 games left in the season, I have enough to deal with to have to sit her and watch them lose to the Phillies 11 to 2…
