About Me:
Father’s and son’s go together!
I find myself at 42 years old and being a stay-at-home dad the most challenging and often rewarding job of my life. Circumstances in our life’s made it where I could be with Xan. As I am the one home in the day I will say it here first…”HATS OFF TO YOU STAY AT HOME MOMS!” You are under-appreciated and most people will never feel the pain of all you actually do. It is not an easy job being first on the scene for all injuries, feedings, potty times, play times and everything else on a day to day basis. As the guy who gets to be lucky enough to stay home with my son I get lots of blessings to. I get to see things most dads miss. I have been able to encourage and help my son in things he enjoys. I have been able to appreciate childhood in ways I never thought possible again. Things as adults we take for granted I can see through his eyes. I don’t think most people stop to notice the simplicity and beauty of ‘rocks’ but my three-year old does. He is excited to show me and share with me. I have to see and feel the excitement of snowfall, rain, sunshine and moon. He has helped make things around me fresh and he certainly keeps me active. I thank god for our son everyday and all the blessings he has brought into our lives. Oh and one more thing! I happen to know I am me. Feel free to reblog me if you so feel inclined! I am to busy with my son and being a stay-at-home dad to worry about people stealing my life. YIKES!!! 
Hi, DadBlunder,
I can totally relate to your saying that “You are under-appreciated and most people will never feel the pain of all you actually do:.
I have been a stay-at home home for over 20 years! The journey is amazing! It is great to see that more men are now taking up this role. Stay-at-home mum? Stay-at-home dad? Who cares!
The important thing is the children are being brought up in a nurturing environment.

Viola,
You are 100% on the mark! Being a stay-at-home parent can be one of the most thankless jobs there is but……it is also the most reward filling experience anyone could ever possibly have. I don’t know of any job that gives a person the opportunity to relive every aspect of childhood. My son allows me to have glimpses of things I have long forgotten and had forgotten how to appreciate. Thank you so much for understanding and taking on one of the hardest jobs on the planet (helping our future generations to succeed)!!!
