Mr. Moms... Becoming The Norm In Society

YOU may be wondering why I even decided to write this. Well, because I enjoy being a Mr. Mom. And I personally think that ALL Dads should do this. If you decide to do it only once in your children's early years then you need to do it for a long period of time. Why?...
One... It is an awesome connection you make with your children. Your influence in their life is obvious to all. They show it everyday. I can't tell you how they will show you because it would be impossible for me to predict what your children will do in regards to how you associate with them.
TWO... When it comes to discipline, you know it sucks to put your foot down when your child is so damn cute and does not know from right and wrong yet. But you have to do it, for the better good of your child. So being a Mr. Mom allows you the ability to spend some one on one time to assure your child that you love them endlessly. Yeah, you may be saying right now "Of-course I love my children, this guys nuts!". Well let me ask you this... Does you child know this? Being a Mr. Mom allows you to express this to your child frequently. And that is what children need. especially from the Father. This is a really good way to open conversations with you child. This makes them feel like your bud.
THREE... As a father you too learn alot from this. Patience become natural to you. You become just as alert as mom is. You get to know your children's environments better as to how they adventure to know. Allowing you to participate in child proofing, organization, trouble shooting with Mom. You earn a type of confidence that allows mother to feel abit more freedom. She gains much more appreciation for you and what you can do. Your wife or mother of your children start to feel better about themselves because they are able to participate in things that maybe its best for the children to stay home. Like work! Some moms like to do the 9 to 5 thing too. Well, I personally have noticed the benefits of Mom doing this. When mom is active in things like this, it helps her keep her mind healthy. Because if your wife/girlfriend has had a boy, then they know what depression being induced by hormones can be like. And some of fathers have felt the wrath.
FOUR... And this is probably the most important. You become a person that has two sides of you. One is "the adult" the other is "the kid". These children give us the opportunity to be kids again. You have so much time with them it is just natural to play like them. We as adults need to "fit in" with them. This lets your children know they are just fine the way they are and that Dad can be a fun friend to be around.

SO, for a conclusion... I think every Father should be a Mr. Mom for some time. And not just when the kids are older, no they should be changing the diapers and giving the baths just as much as mom. Fathers need to participate in the duties of parenthood just as much as mom does. Alot of fathers out there do worthy things, but end short of extending their long days for their children's better good. Its not your fault right now, but it will be your fault if you do not change for the better. As a child who never met his father, raised himself since he was 12 years old. Just dives into the responsibilities of being a stay at home parent. WOW, this was the best thing for a person like myself could have ever done. I full-filled this hole, a hole developed by the simple question. "who is my father, mom?". As you could imagine, there is no hole anymore. And with that said...
I am a much better man then I ever was before!

Cheers!
