Yes, You’re Going to Be a Dad, But What About Your Life?
You may remember Kevin Nealon from his stint on Saturday Night Live as the host of Weekend Update between Adam Sandler’s nonsensical songs and Victoria Jackson’s cartwheels.
If I say “Hans and Franz” and you don’t respond with “And we’re here to pump… you up” then you probably don’t remember Kevin Nealon from SNL. If so, you may be too young to have a baby.
Kevin Nealon is also the star of the television show Weeds, which I’ve heard is a great show. My wife and I have been meaning to watch it; it’s on our list we just have to get through Battlestar Galactica, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Freaks and Geeks, and a few others before we watch it.
Kevin Nealon is also a father. You may have surmised this from the title of his first book, Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? Surprisingly, with a title like that, he’s still a married father.
Unlike my foray into fatherhood, Kevin Nealon became a dad at the age when my dad was almost a granddad. He became a dad in his 50s. His early 50s, but still 50s, as in his mailbox contained the AARP Bulletin and a subscription to Pregnancy magazine.
His book includes some career stories, a detour along the way with his first wife who did not want to have kids, and the disturbing imagery of Kevin Nealon working out half-naked in his garage.
But most of the book is about fatherhood and the requisite fears that accompany fatherhood. There are a lot of fears: What if the baby looks like me and not my wife? Am I too old to be a father? Will Arnold Schwarzenegger be upset at my portrayal of his “distant cousin” Hans?
That last question weighs heavily on all fathers. Fortunately, Arnie wasn’t upset.
From his days on SNL we follow Kevin to his wife’s pregnancy, where Kevin, like most husbands acts as a mere bystander in the final act. He’s given the important task of creating the birthing playlist and manning the ipod while his wife contracts and labours.
Spoiler alert, the book ends with Kevin Nealon becoming a father which is great, because Kevin Nealon already looks like a dad. If I were to cast a family sitcom, Kevin Nealon would be a good casting spec for suburban father.
Is Kevin Nealon a good father? Maybe. The book ends with the birth of his child. There’s no sequel, no It’s Your Turn to Entertain the Toddler complete with a new picture of Kevin Nealon looking tired and harried.
I’ll just assume that he’s a good father. No one wants to read about a father’s daily trial and tribulations with their toddler, right?
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to know a
lot about this, such as you wrote the book in it or
something. I think that you just can do with a few p.
c. to pressure the message home a little bit, however instead of that, that is magnificent blog.
A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thanks,
However I am encountering difficulties with your RSS.
I don’t know the reason why I am unable to join it. Is there anybody getting similar RSS issues? Anyone that knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanks!!
Very nice write-up. I certainly love this website. Thanks!
You are so cool! I do not think I have read something like
that before. So nice to find someone with some original thoughts on this subject.
Really.. thanks for starting this up. This web site is one thing that is needed
on the web, someone with a bit of originality!
Having read this I believed it was very informative.
I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this short
article together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and
leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
If you have attempted to have sex recently and failed
the next time could be an anxious moment and the more you think about it the more you are likely to fail again.
Any interference with this process, whether physical or psychological,
can prevent an erection. Even the bowels should be cleansed
daily during this period with a warm water
enema.
That’s a very first-class feedback. I’m curious
to think what type of impact this would have globally?
There have been times when things like this begin to have global expansion and
frustration. I’ll check back to see what
you need to say.
Glory (1989) – This historical film portrays the 54th
Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, which was the first
all-black official United States regiment.
Usually do not imagine that she voted regarding and even prefers
President Obama. And the Black females (mostly the younger generation of
Black females), are they not generally looked upon as and called
“hoes.
I like looking through an article that will make people think.
Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
Cheers!
I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already

Have you ever thought about publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?
I have a blog based on the same subjects you
discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information.
I know my subscribers would enjoy your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
certainly like your website but you have to check the spelling on quite a
few of your posts. A number of them are rife
with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth however
I’ll surely come back again.
Outstandingly illuminating thanks, It is my viewpoint your current subscribers could possibly just want a very good deal more blog posts similar to this keep up the excellent content.
