I gotta say a few months ago I wasn't real keen on this whole at home Dad thing, actually up until yesterday realy. Now I am just realy getting into this, after I got over the whole inadequesy and pride thing,  this is the shit. I get to do what I want when I want (according to a 4 month olds schedule of course).  I took my daughter for our first walk today, I walked she rode she's only 4 months old, and I absolutely loved it and she did too, I think. I am realy getting excited over the fact that I can raise my daughter the way I want her to be, and that I can be part of every facet of her day, I never thought it possible to love another person as much as I do her it's truely amazing. As a man who worked full time my whole life, then I had a major carreer change at 35,  and now this at home Dad thing at 37, wow what changes. But I have to say that this change is by far the best one yet, I still work part time but its only 3 days a week as a nurse, but I call the AHD thing my real job when people ask!!!

It just gets better

My oldest is now 10, and while there are days, overall it just gets better.  Enjoy your AHD status! Cool

Just when I think things are going smooth someone makes a comment or asks what do you do when I say well that's the thing what do I say to that. It gets to be where my wife I feel limits where we go to avoid these questions. Its difficult to except for me sometimes that this is the situation but I have to accept and be proud and enjoy this time I have with my sons because it does pass so fast My oldest son Cody is 14 now and as tall as me.

Questions and "Looks"

I got them all the time when I was doing the at-home dad thing in Roanoke, VA.  Hang in there, you'll appreciate these years with your kids.  They will, too.
