Reflecting On The Last 6 Months…

Posted by admin on April 15, 2008

Yesterday I was reflecting on the last 6 months and how drastically my life has changed.

I don’t mean drastically in a negative way but in a topsy-turvy, what the heck happened the time kind of way! Few men know this but being a house husband is like existing in a parallel universe where time takes on a new meaning.

I know that working in business is also time consuming but as a house husband it seems like there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

When I first took on my new role I was totally terrified of what the future held for me and although I considered myself somewhat prepared for the task, in reality, nothing could have readied me for my new paternal obligations.

Now don’t get me wrong, I was never the macho male stereotype with a hands-off housework approach and always did my fair share of the daily chores including all aspects of caring for our daughter, but despite my prior experience, I was still caught unawares by the varying hiccups that I have had to deal with.

These sometimes sudden surprises still jolt me today.

No amount of practice can prepare a man for the running of a household and the caring of children full time.

I grew up the oldest son with 5 younger sisters but even this knowledge hasn’t aided me in my recent experiences as a house husband.

Anyway, lest you think me a moaning wimp, I guarantee that this is not my intention and I have grown more through my house husbandry over the last 6 months than I had ever expected.

So that’s the reason for this new blog.

I want to share some of my stories both humorous and serious. I also want to start recording my experiences as a house husband daily and maybe get some feedback and tips from you guys and girls.

I look forward to growing even more through this blog and will dedicate myself to write here each day both for the readers and as a legacy for my daughter.

So till tomorrow…
