Being Appreciative of Your Stay at Home Dad
In my travels it was brought to my attention a mom blogger who listed out 10 Reasons Why She Loves Her Stay at Home Dad. Her husband stays home with the kids and so she shows her appreciation. Being a Stay at Home Dad myself it is always nice to see others appreciative of what we do. I do get tired of the stereotypes of who I am because I have chosen to be at home.
So this was a great change and happy to see it.
One of the things on the list does not pertain to me and that is “resident car mechanic”. Sorry I am a terrible mechanic. I just spent the last hour and a half uninstalling a dishwasher and putting in a new one. I still have a slow drip at the end of my water hose. The drain hose seems to be all set up nice a tight. I still need to hard wire it. For those who have done this before it should only take 30 minutes tops.
Even though I am not very mechanical I do see where that list can pertain to most families with Stay at Home Dads.

Hey, thanks for the mention!! I left out the things which my SAHD isn’t good at like cooking, cleaning, etc. He happens to love cars and all things mechanical, so I’ll take his talents where I can.
