My husband divorced when Bonus Brother was 3. He took just as many days off picking him up from school sick, and running him to the doctor's as his mother. He left work early for conferences, and walked the halls of high school with his schedule in hand when he entered 9th grade. He even took a job 60 miles from home because it catered to his single father responsibilities. And honestly now a days, it seems we do more than his mother. But that's another story for another day.<br /><br />But some men, are their own worst enemy...<br /><br />Back in the day, before my ex-husband went completely off his rocker, he resented the fact that he was left with the kids while I went off to do what ever I wanted. Like he was a babysitter. UM.... hello? It's called your visitation time and you're not the baby sitter you're their FATHER.<br /><br />And sadly, a baby sitter would have taken better care of them.<br /><br />Any hoo, I'm glad you're doing your part to shatter the myths, and that you can change a diaper. These are valuable skills. :)Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.com
