Recently I was at the doctors [Allergist] and the nurse asked me a whole bunch of questions, mostly relevant to my allergies [is your house carpeted?, do you have pets?, are you on any medication?, etc.]. The last question was what was my occupation. I immediately said “Stay-At-Home Dad.” She replied “Luckeeeeee.”

What’s profound about this is that this was the first time I told someone, especially a complete stranger that my occupation is a Stay-At-Home Dad. Usually I would first say Graphic Designer or Freelance Graphic Designer and then would slip in SAHD afterwards but this time I immediately said SAHD without blinking. No shame or awkwardness nor weird or puzzled look from the person asking the question.

I think the role is taking over completely. 😉
