About Michael Moebes

Michael Moebes, a co-founder of our Atlanta Dads Group, is a lawyer, two-time Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran, and lover of quality bourbon. He has visited all 50 United States, run with the bulls in Pamplona, survived Oktoberfest in Munich, and never refuses a mint julep. Ever. He started the family-friendly dad blog Dadcation in 2014 after seven years of writing for various humor sites that were less family-friendly.

Good “Not So Good” Fatherhood Memories

June 8, 2015 by Michael Moebes

I like to bring my daughter to work, place her in my Herman Miller chair and take funny “look at the adorable little future lawyer” pictures. Until she pisses all over the chair (and the carpet).
