RSSThis Father Cannot Wait for School
This is how I feel about school NOW!
School time is quickly approaching here in NJ and this father cannot wait! Although I am not the one home with the children, I receive the result of my wife’s frustration. This year Nicky will be in the 1st grade and Jordy will be in Pre-K classes 3 days per week. This is will be a well deserved break for Carrie. By the time school starts, Corey will not be taking Prednisone (read my last post for that one) and Carrie and Corey should have some quiet time together.
Having 3 children so close in age better pay off in the future because it is friggin tough right now! This house is filled with a lot of laughter, playful yelling, fighting, not-so-playful screaming, teasing, hitting, pushing and all of the other stuff that goes on between the father and mother……kidding of course. By the time I get home in the evening, my wife has been with the kids for about 12 hours all by herself, on most occasions. Needless to say, she is quite happy to have some reinforcement to help her but after working 10-12 hours myself, I am not always in the right mood to deal with the craziness. We endure it well, I think.
For all of the mothers out there that chose to stay home and raise your kids: GOD BLESS YOU! This father couldn’t do it! I guess I could but I think I would need a daily dose of Valium or an equivalent (legal or other wise). I am certain that women are much better suited for raising children and I am not being sexiest here. I personally do not know many fathers, if any at all, that would choose to stay home but I know they exist because I follow their blogs. For now, I prefer working my ass off every day; at least I am not not surrounded by loud and messy kids all of the time even though I am speaking of my own kids. I am the hunter/gatherer! My bounty may not always be what my wife would hope for but she said “I do” so she is stuck!
This 35 year old father is off to work now. A 45 minute ride, all by myself with some old school Metallica playing through my MP3 player. That’s right, off to “work” or I should say: Off to a more peaceful place for the day! My blog, my rules! 
[...] week is school…..YEH! I cannot wait for school. I already posted my feelings on the start of school so I will not say it all again but the feelings are bitter sweet. I will be broke and penniless [...]
