About this blog

Shannon Scott Stebbins is a recent and reluctant Chicago migrant to the suburbs and offers a dark, satirical look at parenthood in his blog How Not to be a Dad. As a dad of two young children, G Frenzy (4) and ChunChun (1), he is exhausted, has gone mildly insane and would like to share with you the joys and explosive inferno of day-to-day parenting...from a Dad's perspective.

He is also a freelance writer who currently contributes to the Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald and Kane County Chronicle and is also a business writer/marketer/social media branding strategist as well as a resume writer for CareerBuilder.com.

He lives with his wife, Conquistadora, and two sons in the Chicago metropolitan area, otherwise known as "out that way" which features rows and rows of strip plazas and Target stores everywhere you turn.
