Tribute

I have to give much love and incredible tribute to my wife. Not only is she busting her butt working every (long) day to make sure there’s food on the table and heat in the house but she’s also the inspiration for this blog. She thought it would be a good idea for me to have this blog for many reasons but the main one is for my benefit and my sanity to maybe jot down my adventures as a SAHD and express myself. I know of some guys who do the stay-at-home gig but they eventually go back to work or it was only for a short time. I also know of some guys who work from home and don’t/won’t/can’t do the fatherly duties even while being in the same house. I’m the only husband I know that from my daughter’s birth to now (20 months later) is still seeing no end in doing the SAHD gig and my wife and I even talk about what would happen if we had another child in a few years and I think I would still stay at home in the same role. From the get-go of my wife’s pregnancy we knew I would stay at home and my wife was totally on board and still (surprisingly) praises me and thanks me for being a SAHD. I still have bouts of guilt that all fiscal responsibility is on her shoulders but it has calmed down a lot. She assures me that she loves her job enough that she has no qualms going in the office everyday, although she does desperately misses time with our adorable daughter but she is very grateful that I am the one home watching her and that we don’t have to put her in day-care or burden someone else. So I cannot thank, support and love my working wife ENOUGH. She is our rock and our captain and I am her loyal first mate.
