We continue to feature great dads in the 30 days leading up to Father’s Day. Today, it’s Kevin Fuller, who is a husband, dad, and Cubmaster…but not always in that order. Kevin lives in the woods of Massachusetts with three male Minions (Daniel, Benjamin, Tristan) and a Trophy wife. Kevin is a published author and enjoys writing his blog, Who Woulda Thought? Most of all, he loves spending time with the Minions.
My first memory as a father was… when I had the “pleasure” of changing the first diaper filled with that black tar like crap. The good news was my best friend was there for backup, the bad news was we didn’t do it well at all…the nurse scolded me.
What¹s in your man cave? My man cave consists of Star Wars Legos, Scouting items, beer and more Star Wars.
My wife is my hero because… she not only deals with the Minions but she tolerates my crap as well. Thank the Maker for her and her ability to withstand the testosterone in our house…that’s why I call her the Trophy.
How many hours of sleep did you get before you became a father? I slept as much as I wanted before becoming a Dad, now that deal is out the window the Minions barge in anytime they feel like waking up.
What¹s your favorite meal? My favorite meal is anything where I can actually sit down and eat it, on a normal basis I am either eating standing in the kitchen or just digging in straight out of the pot…The benefits of being a Dad.
How are you like your own dad? I have never been like my Dad until he passed away last year, I think he has been possessing me. I am pack ratting things left and right and I’ve even caught myself doing that whole old man drop your pants to tuck your shirt in, while standing in the kitchen.
My most traumatic parenting experience was… with Minion #2 at birth. He was induced and his heartbeat dropped seriously low, so low they called a code blue in the hospital and every doctor, nurse and staff member appeared in the delivery room. He came out just fine and hasn’t stopped since.
What sports team can your kids never like? Being a die-hard Red Sox fan, that’s obvious, they are forbidden to like the New York Yankees.
If fatherhood was a beer, which type of beer would it be and why? Good question, I would say fatherhood is like Corona, most of the time it smells funny but when you do it right you really enjoy it.
