Breathecast.com is reporting that Skillet’s husband and wife team of John and Korey Cooper are going to be featured in April’s edition of Lifeway’s Parent Life Magazine. Their exclusive interview and article centers around their day to day life raising 2 kids while on the road more than 300 days a year. Here’s what John sees as the good and bad of being a musical Dad…
The good side is that I get to be with my kids all the time. The hard side is that they have an unusual schedule and are in a new place all the time. In some ways, it’s not as much stability for them. But I don’t have to leave to go to work for 10 hours a day.
Wanting to remain the main influence throughout their kids’ formative years, John explains why he and Korey decided to bring education in-house…
We homeschool on the road. And by ‘we,’ I mean my wife.
Along for the ride, his bride of 12-plus years can be seen exerting her alternative flair as the band’s keyboardist and contributing vocalist every night. But Mrs. Cooper’s daily appearances begin long before the stage is set. Like any other working mom, Korey has the family’s daily routine down to a science. Korey explains their daily routine…
Being a singer, John needs sleep or he’ll lose his voice. So I have morning shift. We’ll all go to lunch together, then John will take the kids to the park for the afternoon. I get a break before we have dinner. Sometimes the kids come to the show. Sometimes they go to bed. It just depends what schedule has evolved from the road.
