It’s Okay to Take a Break
If the coronavirus has taught me anything, it’s that we live in a time where kids are expected to have a bunch after school activities in addition to actually going to school (whenever that happens again).

…I met you when I was 29—only a few years older than you are now. I was NOT a Ninja Dad. I was a 20-something who had never been a parent before. I was a lot of things, but an experienced parent was not one of them. You were my first kid.
…Growing up with a dog is an important thing for a kid. Sometimes growing up with a dog can teach your kids things that you can’t as a Ninja Dad… Like getting out of eating your dinner by feeding your dog under the table.
…I have kids. At least three of them, last I checked. I’ve overheard some strange things, and I can promise that all of these are 100% real.
…We have a whole website about being ninja dads, and we may have loosely defined what a ninja dad is in a few places. But as we improve both our ninja skills and our dad skills, it’s worth revisiting.
…There is joy in being a dad. We’ve been there before and lived the struggles our children are going through (except for this whole pandemic thing…haven’t seen this one before).
These are strange times. We’re all stuck at home trying to teach our kids, or at least get them to do their assignments. For a lot of us, it’s a miserable failure.
…We love good jokes (and bad jokes) at NinjaDads. Some of our favorites involve manners and eating. Let’s face it—kids can be disgusting at family meals, and anything to reinforce good manners helps. Here are some of our favorite manners-related jokes.
…Dad jokes hold a unique place in the comic paradigm. Sure, they may make you groan, but they really serve a much broader purpose.
…Let’s face it—this COVID-19 thing is a real downer on our sex lives. I don’t know about you, but I can no longer tell the difference between Tuesday and Sunday. And that’s not to say we have a specific “sex day” of the week. Rather, it’s about privacy.
Suddenly, the kids are ALWAYS around. Normally, they have to get their asses out of the house and off to school. Now it’s like a never-ending spring break—and it’s cramping my style.
