This is my first rodeo at blogging. My goal is to hopefully bring insight to what it is like to be a stay home dad from my perspective. I have two wonderful daughters and one (for now) amazing, strong, beautiful, intelligent wife who has probably put up with more than one should have. She encouraged this adventure (she gave me “The Golden Rules of Blogging”) by Robin Houghton for Valentine’s Day versus when I would have settled for a nice pizza pie from our favorite local pizza establishment.
I was given the opportunity to spend a large amount of time with my with my daughters that was amazing and fun. I learned time and conflict management and how to come up with daily food menus that I believed they enjoyed or at least told me it was the best ever dad. We went to the local public pools pretty much every day, made forts in the basement, worked on bike riding, played NERF games, got to know the neighbor’s dog to mention a few activities.
I was let go from a local company after 17 years of where I made great work connections and even better personal connections. The company was straight up honest why I was getting the boot (which was unheard of today). Needless to say it was a tough pill to swallow especially to tell children, family and friends, but what one to do… It SUCKED!!!
Not sure where this road will go, but I am taking a chance to find out and attempt to provide my observations and thoughts that I can drum up for your consumption or regurgitation from my day to day life experience or observations.
