Moms & the City and a Dad named David aired their father’s day show over the weekend. It was an action packed thirty minutes focusing completely on fatherhood…the NYC Dads Group was included and we were in great company! They featured an interview with a dad who penned a book that the entire parenting community in the country is talking about: Go the F#ck To Sleep by Adam Mansbach. This New York Times best seller has already sold over 500,000 copies! Then, they featured an interview with Footbal Star, Damien Woody. Jet fans like me miss him and admire him for his active and engaged role with his children. Finally, the NYC Dads Group were selected by the Moms and the City show as their “DADS IN CHARGE.” The above segment shows Lance Somerfeld of the NYC Dads Group having a blast with his son Jake and two other active dads within the group at a local playground: Patrick Spillman (with daughter Grace) & Bryan Grossbauer (with son Finn). Hopefully, we did a good job representing ourselves, our NYC Dads Group community, and at-home dads everywhere!

A little more about our friends at Moms & the City:
Moms and the City is all about the edgy, honest and sometimes controversial opinions of three real moms of New York City. Comprised of three award-winning journalists — Denise Albert, Melissa Gerstein and Raina Seitel — the women cover parenting issues from the trenches as they trek through the joys and dysfunction, the exhaustion and exhilaration that motherhood brings.

Perhaps, Moms & the City which airs a weekly show on NBC will consider putting together another all dads episode in the future, even when it’s not Father’s Day…that would also be truly special. Special thanks to producer Sarah M. and her team who did a fantastic job of truly capturing the wondrous moments of my role as the primary caregiver.
