At first, the attempt to be a stay-at-island dad was a failed experiment. I blame biological evolution. My wife points to me losing the kids in a jungle on the side of a mountain. Sink or swim, however, is an apropos idiom on an island, and on the open seas of parenthood I learned to swim fast. Over the course of two years I managed to cook and clean, cajole and console, correct and, most importantly, connect with the kids. For a man, even a modern-day man, this is saying a lot. Yes, it's the 21st century. Yes, we've come a long way baby. No, we still don't see the irony in yelling at our kids...
At first, the attempt to be a stay-at-island dad was a failed experiment. I blame biological evolution. My wife points to me losing the kids in a jungle on the side of a mountain. Sink or swim, however, is an apropos idiom on an island, and on the open seas of parenthood I learned to swim fast. Over the course of two years I managed to cook and clean, cajole and console, correct and, most importantly, connect with the kids. For a man, even a modern-day man, this is saying a lot. Yes, it's the 21st century. Yes, we've come a long way baby. No, we still don't see the irony in yelling at our kids to stop yelling.Feeding the Kids to the Sharks is a unique and humorous twist on the standard stay-at-home story in that it incorporates the odd culture and characters of Micronesia, the complexities of the "simple" life on an island and, personally, the best midlife crisis anyone could ever imagine.
