The Doug Life

Welcome to the park bench. I’m Doug.

I’m a father of three (Pearl and the twins, Peter and Pete), a professional snack negotiator, and a world-class staredown champion. If you’ve ever felt like your kids are actively trying to tie your shoelaces together while you’re holding a hot coffee, you’re in the right place.

Here, we don't 'parent'—we survive. Join me for daily doses of reality, dad jokes that hurt to hear, and the occasional 1000-yard stare into the void of the local playground.

Grab a red cup, take a seat, and don't touch my chips.
