The question everybody asks when discussing my life as a stay-at-home dad.
My new answer is going to be something like...
I prepare Julia's breakfast, I feed her, I clean her up and I try to get her to sleep. Followed almost immediately by I prepare Julia's lunch, I feed her, I clean her up and I try to get her to sleep. After that I prepare Julia's late lunch, I feed her, I clean her up and I try to get her to sleep. Finally I get to prepare Tara's (and mine) dinner, then I clean the kitchen.
After I get to eat I still have time to prepare Tara's breakfast and lunch, clean the kitchen again and wait to change Julia's diaper before I go to bed.

Oh how familiar!!! My back went out several years ago, and it was one of the best weeks of my motherhood. I read three books and David stayed home and did what I usually do. (I still helped entertain the kids some, though.) He collapsed on the couch at the end of one day, looking bombarded. I asked what he was thinking about. "Your life," he replied. You don't really know it until you experience it. My back going out was worth it all.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, that's an idea.
