Household Hero
Being a father is all about understanding our many roles. Parent’s are many things to their children at various times in their life’s. It is a daunting task but the rewards of having a happy child far outweigh anything else. If you considered all of my roles and built them into one, my son would tell you I am a household hero.
Household Hero Wanted
Being a household hero is remarkably refreshing! It can make a man feel like a coca-cola commercial. It is invigorating and gives you a sense of purpose. As a household hero, father’s must consider all aspects of the job and never think that they are too good to do any of them.
Luckily, my son took out advertisements of some job opening he was looking for. I applied and he immediately hired me! I thought I might share some of the various job openings he had posted

Person will then get to take him out of the car seat and hold the door for him as he gets out of the car. Being a child’s chauffeur should not be taken lightly!

Easy Approval Process
I was very lucky that my son was smart enough to post all the various jobs he had open. I felt it was important that I applied for the one job I knew I would be the most helpful. He accepted and approved my application rather quickly as household hero! I haven’t regretted it one bit either! As a household hero he even allows me to occasionally wear the super hero cape!

Hahaha! This post is sooo hilarious. Really! Not all dads are as goofy as you, Aaron! Most of them are strict and kill joy…Xander is so lucky to have you. Keep up writing a good post!
Thank you so much for you wonderful compliments and enjoying it as much as I enjoy writing them. I love writing the humorous ones as much as I enjoy writing the serious ones.
I seriously hope in the future based on what I show my son father’s learn life is to short to be always strict and a kill joy. You have to have fun too. I agree you have to have discipline but there is a fine line between discipline and reason and joy and laughter. The man that can learn to balance all of those is the man that won’t look back on their life with regrets and wish they had done things differently.
