Dr. Mom???
Slowly but surely, news of my departure is spreading among my coworkers. A few days ago, a guy who I consider a friend addressed me as "Dr. Mom." Let me get this straight, I am neither a doctor nor a mom. As politely as possible, I informed him that I would soon be a stay at home dad and reminded him that he would still have to work with me for six more days. He changed the subject and became overly friendly real quick. It seems like my female coworkers are a lot more capable of stringing the words stay, at, home and dad together. Maybe it's not that big a deal. I'm the one who's getting out of that accursed place and doing what I want to, right? Heck, this same friend told me he would have stayed at home with his son if he was given the chance. Maybe he'll be lucky enough to be addressed as Dr. Mom someday down the road.

Hey cuz - you can always ask Hoyt about his days as a SAHD he really loved it and was pretty unhappy when it had to end. He may be going to 3rds soon and he will be at home w/ the kids during the day too. If only we were closer you guys could have Daddy Daycare together :)
