Raising a kid, even one as cute, adorable and innocent as mine, is rough. Terribly rough. I never thought in a million years that I would stay at home to raise our munchkin. But, after nearly three years, I am still not use to it, nor am I close to the expert in all things kid.
My biggest failing is that I couldn't keep work away from home. I realized that I had a career that was all encompassing, keeping me entirely away from my family, or that any job that didn't require that kind of commitment wouldn't pay the enormous cost of daycare. Either way, I still wouldn't be around for my daughter. So, my job now is to be a Dad. It's the toughest job there is.
This blog is for all those who find themselves in similar circumstances. Raising kids is difficult, and we got to stick together and vent how we can. However, you might feel a closer kinship in being a stay-at-home dad. Afterall, there are certain challenges we face: taking your daughter to the men's restroom. Getting funny looks at Chuck E. Cheese (being the only guy there) and other socially awkward circumstances (I hate dinner parties). This blog aims to make right those trivial social injustices, and furthermore -- to make the stay-at-home dad the cool profession.
Any stories you wanna share?
