Funny Parenting and Children Stories for Parents, Fathers, and Mothers

Funny Parenting and Children Stories for Parents, Fathers, and Mothers

By Greg Gorman

This podcast features readings of my comedy stories of parenting, raising children, raising foster children, dealing with homework, and cooking meals no one in the house will want to eat. I coach baseball and football. I go to soccer practice and try to do the right thing as a husband and a parent. If you want advice, find another podcast. If you want to laugh, you've come to the right place. This is the place for fathers and mothers to laugh, relax, and destress. I hope you laugh and relate to these stories about family.

More Time on the Road with Kids

My children needed to get to different places for different reasons. This turned into a self-directed, fifty-cent tour of New Bedford and Fall River, MA.

Practicing Patience

Practicing Patience

Coaching flag football includes a lot of parts, including no one gets hurt from celebrating touchdowns or going after their teammates. There is also the chance someone might intercept a pass intended for their teammate. It's fun.

This is why my Friday is fun and Exciting

Another busy week was capped off with soccer practice and a surprise meeting for lunch. Lunch was just enough time for me to catch my breath before going back out there.

Fun and Games

It seems like certain parts of children's brains shut down when summer vacation starts. When this happens, they seem to need more help than usual.

Summer Vacation and Homeschooling

Summer Vacation and Homeschooling

A tribute to the perils and battles that came along with homeschooling our children during the Pandemic. It wasn't easy, but we all like to think everyone came out better for it.

Rightfully Mine

Certain people (children) like to take things and people away from me. They think it's funny. They're clearly in the minority.

Film Lesson

Film Lesson

Family time can involve a movie sometimes. Picking a movie can be an activity in itself. Me picking one can mean a painful activity for some of the children.

What Shall we Play?

What Shall we Play?

I love playing with my children. Sometimes playing games with them involve a little negotiating  with them. Sometimes they take a hard-line stance. Sometimes trying to get them to play becomes the game itself.

Larry the Tree

Larry the Tree

We needed to take a tree down on out property, much to the chagrin of our child. She explained to us that trees provide oxygen for us. I'm not sure if she's forgiven us yet.

When Corona started and "Social Distancing" was starting to be a thing, wife and I did everything we could to keep our family safe. I'm sure the kids appreciated it.
