House Husband Blues

Posted by admin on September 26, 2008

I haven’t written for a while because I seem to have gotten a dose of the “House Husband Blues“.

I must admit that I feel fantastic now but there were a couple of months there where I got a little down and thought that maybe I wasn’t cut out to be a house husband. But I’m sure that this thought goes through every parents mind at some time or another.

Well…to update you…my daughter is now potty trained and proud of the fact. She started her second year at the kindergarden and is now a Sophmore (lol) so she gets to show the newbie kids the ropes. But with responsibility also comes frustration and she has reached the stage of “I can do it all and I can do it by myself”. Sometimes this results in a carton of milk on the kitchen floor or a bruised knee…been there done that.

The stigma of househusband has vanished and I have been accepted as a mom who looks like a dad and is a man. But the times they are a changing and my role as a mammapappa is becoming less exotic by the day.

We had a great Summer and went to many family music festivals together…downing ice cream and dogs and making memories to be relished. But now the fall is here it’s back to the grind for my daughter and me. But the grind is good!
