Daddy Day

I have my 2-year-old son by myself every Wednesday (today) for our ‘Daddy Day’. It’s a great thing to do. Without it, I don’t think I’d know him half as well and it’s (mostly) a heap of fun. We roam around town and the countryside causing mischief and mayhem, often with our two dogs in tow. I always laugh more than usual, and he always manages to teach me something for the day.

Despite how good it is, I can’t imagine caring for him full time. I’ve always been desparate to be a dad, and I used to dream of being a stay-at-home, full-time carer (perhaps married to some high-flying professional woman!), however I reckon it would drive me bonkers, plus it’s a harder work than paid work.

Are men good at being full-time Dads? I wonder. I’m sure there are some out there…

Can’t wait to see the Boys Are Back (Aussie film about single dad bringing up 3 boys).
