Mr. Mom

As most people know, Jeff is staying home with Chi while I work. I think that this is great! Now, I'm not saying that I don't miss them both very much when I'm at work, nor am I saying I don't ever have the feelings of guilt that I'm not with Chi as is traditionally true. But what I am saying, is that I think that Chi is getting some of the most amazing time with his daddy.

Jeff does an awesome job with the little guy, from playtime, tummy time, hikes, time with the dog, porch, with other people, naps, books, songs, the list goes on and on. I call him on occassion throughout the day to check in, and am always amazed at what is going on...busy busy busy.



In the last few days I have myself a bit annoyed with people around me, society I suppose. I have been asked over and over again if Jeff can do this or if Jeff can do that. As if watching and being with Chi is an easy, relatively simple task that allows him to sit around, watch t.v., play video games, or whatever it may be.

The question I have found myself asking is would I get the same questions? Would I as a mom have people assume that I too was just sitting around, not too busy and free to do lots of other things since childcare isn't "all that hard". Something I've pondered. Especially as our culture seems to shift and be more and more accepting of the stay at home dad.

Long story short, I'm really proud of my husband, and so happy that my child gets amazing, loving, attention full of fun each and every day!
