I'm Not One of those Ward Cleaver Dads

Happy Father’s Day to all of the good dads out there. Even if you’re not the Ward Cleaver type.My kids and Mooch will vouch for the fact that I’m not like Mr. Cleaver. I’ve dropped too many F-bombs during our time together for them to ever mistake me for one of those fathers. But we’ve had a hell of a lot of fun together. It was quite different raising my kids than when my father raised his two sons.I talk about this in today’s episode. It was a lot of fun talking about how it’s been being a father for almost 21 years. And how different it was from being raised by a pastor father. I appreciate you lending me your ears on this one. Now excuse me as I go shopping for steaks to grill for my family. Mooch and the kids approve of this message. Happy Father’s Day to you all!© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer.
