Frank Prather is a strong supporter of the United We Parent movement.
He blogs about his experience as a middle age first-time dad and describes himself better than anyone else can. He starts with this:
Born in Bethesda, MD to teenage parents I was raised in an upper lower class broken home by my mom and dad, then my mom, then my mom and my step-dad, then my mom, and often by my grandmother. You have all of them to thank and/or blame for the the man/child/living deity that you see before you today.
I had a few more questions…
How does United We Parent’s mission to unify, strengthen, and inform the parenting community align with your business?
Nothing is more important than being a good parent. No one accomplishes that in a vacuum so sharing knowledge and offering support is hugely beneficial to achieving that goal. UWP is a forum/event that facilitates the process.
What is your most proud parenting related achievement? How did it affect you and/or your business?
When I ask my son, “Who loves you the most?” he responds, “Daddy”, 100% of the time. Instilling that feeling in him is my proudest parenting related achievement. It fills me with an overwhelming sense of joy.
When you aren’t working, what do you like to do for fun?
I workout, ride motorcycles and perform standup comedy, but mostly I spend time with my family.
What excites you about the United We Parent Inaugural event?
Any event that brings parents together for the greater good of the children is exciting.

I concur I think that having parental support from other parents makes parenting a little it less stressful. I confide in my bestfirend a lot about parenting issues. All of her kids are grown now so she provides a lot of peer support for me.
Oh that is perfect. Speaking to someone who you are comfortable with can be of huge help. Plus your friend has a little extra insight since she has older kids.
Looks like a great event coming up soon, wish I was in SoCal and could attend. Best of luck with the speaking engagement.
Thank you very much. We will announce when we are in your neck of the woods and hope to see you then.
This definitely sound like a wonderful event to further strengthen the much needed bond between parents and children.
Thank you. We are definitely looking forward to providing some serious glue.
All the best for the event with such an amazing concept. I loved the interview with Frank Prather. You guys are doing great job. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Being a good parent or feeling like your a good parent is an everyday struggle. Keep up the good work.
It definitely takes work and effort. Thank you for your comment.
It’s refreshing to see a father blog about parenting and getting so involved with his kid. Love it!
WE love to read all the parent blogs. It is so much fun.
Is this event for real!! You must be great parents to think of an event like this.. nowadays bonding is the thing children miss and we have to make sure they get to experience it
It is 100% for real. Unfortunately, in this very rushed world you are right that it may be something that is not honored in the way it needs to be.
Sounds like an exciting event to strengthen the bond between parent and child. All the Best 🙂
Thank you very much. That strength is so important to our future.
This looks like such a fantastic event! I love hearing from other bloggers who also have children: while our blog topics might not be the same, I always learn something from them about their approach to blogging and their work-parenting balance. He sounds like he is going to be a great speaker!
I agree completely. We all have so much to teach and so much to learn.
What a wonderful event concept. I’d never heard of the United We Parent conference before. I really enjoyed reading this interview with Frank Prather. As parents there are always those special times when it’s super useful to reach deep inside and pull up our inner comedian. There are so many parenting situation where it often helps!
Thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the interview.
