Father Making $100M A Year As CEO Quits His Job To Spend More Time With Daughter

Posted in: ,

Mohamed El-Erian is the former CEO of PIMCO, one of the hugest investment funds in America, and his job paid over $100M a year! In January 2014, his decision to resign caused widespread debate in the financial and hedge fund sectors about his reasons for departing, his relationship with founder Bill Gross and the future of the firm. He speaks to the personal side of his decision to Worth Magazine.

About a year ago, I asked my daughter several times to do something—brush her teeth, I think it was—with no success. I reminded her that it was not so long ago that she would have immediately responded, and I wouldn’t have had to ask her multiple times; she would have known from my tone of voice that I was serious.

She asked me to wait a minute, went to her room and came back with a piece of paper. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments.

Talk about a wake-up call. The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. And the school year wasn’t yet over.

Tyler Perry Announces He's Expecting First Child At 45th Birthday

Posted in: ,

Movie director and playwright Tyler Perry is said to be expecting a child. Mr. Perry reportedly made the announcement during his 45th birthday party last weekend.
Coincidentally, last year, Tyler Perry told Steve Harvey that the one thing he hasn’t accomplished yet, and wishes to accomplish by age 45, was fatherhood.

More than anything I think that it’s fatherhood. I know I would be a great father. I don’t want to work this hard. I don’t want to have all of this and not leave it to my children. I also know that as hard as I’m working, doing twenty hours per day, now is not the time. Right now I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I’m enjoying the work. I’m enjoying being a bachelor, so eventually I’ll get there.

... I’m 43, so two more years. By 45 you know who the hell you are, right? You’ve really settled in at 45 so I think two more years.

Many say the child could be from Tyler Perry's last known girlfriend, Ethiopian Model Gelila Bekele. Continue to see some pics from the party and the couple.

Man Left 1-Year-Old Twin Daughters in Hot Car To Have Sex With Girlfriend Outside

Posted in: ,

One dad has been accused of leaving his 1-year-old twin daughters in a hot car so he could have sex with a woman against the side of a building. Seriously, how crazy can some fathers be?

It's been in the news how one dad left his son in the car with windows rolled up and the poor little boy overheated to death. Another father even made a video to warn other parents, now this?

Last Friday, neighbors in a Prince George County, Virginia complex called police when they heard the cries of the two little girls from the car, and discovered the babies had been trapped with the windows up and no source of air.

When the cops got there, they walked around the duplex, and found 47-year-old Juan Munford having sex with a woman against the wall. They approached him and he identified himself as the father of the twins.

The Only Good Reason to Get Married - A Dad’s Letter to His Son

Posted in: , , ,

Dear Son,

It seems like yesterday you were blowing poop out of your diaper onto your mother’s lap. Yet here we are, on the verge of the birds-and-the-bees conversation. The poop was way easier.

Before we talk about sex, though, I want to talk about marriage. Not because I’ll shun you or shame you if you don’t put them in that order—although I hope you will—but because I believe the only good reason to get married will bring clarity to every other aspect of your life, including sex.

Buddy, you’re probably going to want to get married for all the wrong reasons. We all do. In fact, the most common reason to get married also happens to be the most dangerous: we get married because we think it will make us happy. Getting married in order to be happy is the surest way to get divorced.

The latest of these Nigerian men, who get women pregnant and then try to shirk their responsibility when a baby comes is Ice Prince whom RML featured in our last "Daddy Time" post. I won't say celebrities because I know this is a very common situation and there are celebs, like Tuface, who try to do the right thing.
