It's a man ... it's a dad ... it's SAHD!
I met an interesting creature today. I've heard of them before but never met one in person. They have been glamorized and yet also sometimes been the subject of suspicion. I'm talking about:
The stay-at-home dad!
Able to get up with the baby in the middle of the night, do the laundry and fix the dishwasher (or so I've been told). Happy to heft a 40-pound child up his shoulders, run to the store for those three things that annoyingly got left off the shopping list and open every stubborn jar in the kitchen. Willing to lift the couch to find a lost binky, give the dog a bath and rub the wife's feet when she comes home from work! A Renaissance man of many talents!
And you know what, he seemed like a perfect normal, average, nice guy.
A regular dad.
SAHD dude, slow down -- you're making us SAHMs look bad....

damn overachievers. Jeesh.
Wow. Who might this person be??
*Sigh* If only my hubby could assume this role once in a blue moon. He's tried before on weekends...but I would come home to a house looking like a hurricane aftermath :(
