Thanks for the invite Tim! I've been out to your site a few times in the past because I need parenting advice bad. I'm about to hang myself or my kids--whichever is easier.

I assume that means you're buying rum for everyone.

I used to love hanging out at Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. That's as close as I've come, as far as I know, to a pirate -- one way or another. Is a privateer the same thing as a pirate? I wonder what kind of parent Jean Lafitte was? Probably gone a lot. Have fun with all that luck you're pushing -- hope it flows smooth and easy.

Profile Information

About Me:
Tim Bete (pronounced “beet”) began his nautical adventures as a child sailing on Buzzards Bay off the coast of Massachusetts. At age 10, he longed for a small cannon to put on his grandfather’s 30-foot wooden ketch—a quick, two-masted vessel that is perfect for catching other ships so you can plunder ’em. His parents scuttled the cannon idea, saying he “would terrorize other boats with it.” That’s exactly what he had in mind.

Bete's humorous parenting advice has been published in dozens of newspapers, magazines and Web sites, including the Christian Science Monitor, Atlanta Parent, Big Apple Parent, Northwest Family, FathersWorld.com and ParentingHumor.com. His first book, In the Beginning…There Were No Diapers as well as and Guide to Pirate Parenting were finalists in the Foreword Magazine Humor Book of the Year competition.

Bete’s hobbies include pushing his luck and skating on thin ice. In his spare time, he’s director of the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop.

Another Pirate Parenting book trailer

I had so much fun creating my first book trailer, I decided to create a second one. No. 2 answers the question, "Is your child already a pirate?" You can take the video quiz here.

Happy sailing and don't let the bilge rats bite,

Tim

Guide to Pirate Parenting book trailer

Ahoy, mateys!

Just added my new book trailer for GUIDE TO PIRATE PARENTING. Watching it is better than a bottle of rum, or at least better than walking the plank!

Pilfer a peek.

Happy sailing and don't let the bilge rats bite,
