Do You Want to be A Stay At Home Dad?

Since hb is indispose he was advised by his doctor to stay home and rest for two weeks. I'm not used to him being around during the day for two weeks in a row. He sometimes works from home maybe once or twice a week, but he's always busy in his computer working of course. But since he's resting to get well and just taking it easy (he's still actually working from home while sick), I took advantage of the situation. I would ask hb to watch our son while I try to finish as much chores as I could and run some errands without my son with me, what a breather! I could finish a lot if there's no little guy distracting me.

But the crazy world of a mom day-in and day-out unfolded before hb's eyes and I could see that his patience is flying out the window. I sort of wanting to scream, "now you know how it is to be a stay-at-home mom!" He used to kid me when I complain about being very exhausted when he comes home from work. And his reply was "how can you be too exhausted when you're just at home?" Now what? My son drives hb crazy when he stubbornly wants his attention for interactive plays all the time. When hb is fixing a meal, my son will either be behind him; or in front of him; or practically all over him, snooping around. Or my son would take out kitchen utensils from the drawers to play with that my hb would sometimes step on. I could see how he gets irriated sometimes. My son will grab a stool to watch him make his coffee, take his medicine, brush his teeth and even take a pee. My son is driving him nuts all day I could tell.

And guess what? It's no biggy to me, those are exactly what I'm dealing with day-in and day-out. So there, it's not because you're home you're well rested right? Bless all SAHM's ;-)
