Work at Home Dad – A realistic Understanding Of Life Today

The Work at home Dad that wakes up to a Child poking him in the face, may think they have special problems. When Simon leaps out of bed, gets the eggs on, and makes a school lunch for the youngest of two, all is in order. It is just another day in the life of a stay at home Dad that works from home. While his other half has been off to work more than an hour previous to making breakfast and lunch, the work at home dad prevails.

The scenario of the work from home Dad is becoming more and more common in our society, as we let go of the pending or too unrealistically prevalent situation that every stay at home parent is a work at home Mommy! Just to be Gender proper, and in perspective here ladies and gents, we both want the same thing. Working from home with children is never easy, but consider the fact that more fathers are now involved, and making it better than ever.

Men have always taken hold, and when the week half gets bleary eyed and downtrodden, it is time for superman to step in. Most Men can manage anything thrown at them in time of neediness, and seem to always provide a shoulder to cry on, whether for the spouse or for the kids. I have worked from home, cleaned shitty diapers, (way past that now) cleaned the house, made breakfast, made lunches at the same time, and still have time to take care of business and rectify problems. And I still have time to watch a movie or the OC everyday.

I love the fact that my Wife chose a working from Boss career outside the home, and culminated the thinking that the better life is one of getting a job, and one that is worth getting up in the morning for everyday and driving to work. Men have complained about this for centuries. I guess that their loss of understanding is the work at home Dad’s gain… I throw laundry in the washer and it does it. I come back in an hour and its done!

Almost everyone remembers the story or (Fable) about the Man who traded his job for his wife’s for a day. Only a Moron could not handle doing a few domestic or household chores, and I find it offensive that Men, Dad’s, Husbands or Males get treated with such politically incorrect abuse to the point of “Men cannot handle it.” If Men said anything remotely similar about Women in the workplace, we would most certainly be labelled a sexist pigs, or many other coined phrases and otherwise!

Will a woman ever open a door for me, or buy me a drink at a bar, or pay for dinner or a shared cab ride? Not likely, and I am a handsome man. And in this era of judgement, and reduced moral fibre, I would not do the same either.

This is all but a little screed of topical adjustment presented in honour of the work at home Dad, who is sometimes belittled, and taken for granted. And I know plenty of them! Everyone has to realize their God given role in life, even if others do not. Most women / homemakers always wanted extra preferential treatment when they worked from home and had no extra business tasks such as telecommuting roles. When they did not get it, the previously so-called weaker sex sometimes tried to make home life difficult for their counterpart, to say the least.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion last time I checked, and if you find mine a little off colour, then that will be none of my concern. It is called freedom of speech, and I am finding more Men are embracing its meaning in a World gone crazy with restrictions. Usually caused by a few bad apples that fail to recognize the phrase “sexual harassment in the workplace.” Rock on work at home Dad.
