Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hand working dad to being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

'Cause
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it

What signs?

I see them all them all the time. Be your own boss. Work from home.

Hey Robert, the reason you aren't your own boss is simple. You haven't capitalized on this value added service:

I make those for people, I am a sign maker by trade.

Ever call them up and see if you can be work from home and fire your boss? :D

I wonder if the Stay At Home Mom salary is less than the Stay At Home Dad...for anyone out there who can stay at home and raise thier own children vs. packing them off to a day care, my high heel goes off to you.

Twew, Mrs. Howie stays at home and our payback is beyond dollars with the exception of an almost for sure scholarship, heck the little checks for her little achievements are already rolling in.


and then there's little Howie.:eek:

Part time pay for you. $41,978 per year. Enjoy! :)

I tried that once, but I couldn't quite button down how to do it. :):):):eek:

Can we now put the pay descrepancy argument to rest??? :)

I don't regret any of our decision. Sure it was tough financially at times, but you just find a way to make do and prioritize. I have too many friends and acquaintances that weren't willing to do that, I suppose they felt the need to try to impress somebody. The cost of daycare was considered a bragging right in social circles not unlike their new (leased) Benz or BMW. :confused: Then there was us. :D

I like to think that I have a happy medium. I get to escape during the day but I go to every school function, meeting, rehearsal, concert, etc. that involves any of my kids.

So, with all this talk of what it is worth, who is writing the check?

See post 8 for my answer.:)
