Where some might see a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, I see uninterrupted sports viewing along with three sqaures a day; pizza, hot wings, pizza.

...sorry honey.

Things may not be done the same way the mothers would do them, but the children and the homes will be just fine. Unless the culture in that community is very different from ours, this project is about 50 years late.

As if dads aren't parents, too.

I'm surprised they're not calling it babysitting.

Disgusting.

I think the idea is funny. Nuts, but funny. We should do something like that here, but instead of taking the women out of the equation, we should remove all Vol sports, and leave the men sportless for the women to deal with.

Send the wives out of town for a week?

Ummm... pretty please?!?

I have been the homemaker for 20 + years in
My marriage. My Wife as a scientist at ORNL for 23 years and last year retired from there to work in the private sector.

Since we have a special needs child and child care is just not available in this area for such a kid (Morgan is Autistic) I pay at the Grove theater in Oak Ridge just wasn't helping enough to matter.

I have been at home full time for about 10 years now.

I think it worked out pretty well, My older son and daughter ( well, we stole her from her drug addicted mom, who has since died) are both in collage and working.

The youngest kid we have, (him mom could not handle him, and we took him in because my wife didn't have enough stress in her life) is doing ok. If we could just get him to take school seriously..we would be in great shape.

I think Dads can do well, if taught how to do the jobs around the house. My father in law can tell you how a nuclear reactor works, designed computer systems, for the Gemini project, but has trouble understanding how the dishwasher works.....ohhh he can tell you the molecular structure of the basic metals involved, but actually getting the dishes inside and getting them clean....not so much...

But even after 20 years....My wife still folds the laundry....she hates the way I do it.....

No Matter Where you go, There you Are!!!!

I've been a stay-at-home dad with two daughters for several years. Mom leave? Your daddy's alright. We're all alright.

Quote of the day.

but has trouble understanding how the dishwasher works

At our home, this is how the dishwasher works:

I put the dirty dishes in the sink, put stopper in, fill with hot soapy water, wipe and scrub dishes, rinse, put in dish drainer.

Now, I'm hearing there's another way?

My advice, let men do it the old fashion way for a while, and when necessity dictates, like for large gatherings, operating those new fangled dishwasher contraptions won't seem like such a mystery.

I have a friend who says her husband of 20 years is constantly asking her "where she puts the lunchbags". Considering the fact the bags have been stored in the same place for years,

Some men often claim ignorance in order to have an excuse not to do something. Think about it. The only thing most women hate more than a man not doing something is having him do it the wrong way.

We know this. A lot of women are driven by the belief that "if you want something done right, do it yourself." So men fake ignorance, women do it themselves.

Children also use this tactic, and if you see a link, you're right.
