Don’t sweat it! I’m a part time at home dad. I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. The older daughter has been held back for 1 year from kindergarten.

Since they were born, they’ve only been to a daycare facility for 3 months. So you would think that I had a little experience with them.

Part of it is a little jealousy. My wife admits that I do a good job with the girls, however she still likes to add the details. Fortunately my girls have gotten older and smarter. They fill me in on what changes have been made with their daily routine.

This makes my job a little easier. I simply explain that I will figure everything out. Her reply may be ” It’s not as easy as you think”. By being so detailed, the girls have digested everything she say’s. They simple feed to me. Now I look like a genuis.

Not to mention that my 5 year old needed a stretching routine for her weekly dance classes, I simply wrote down a detailed list of instructions for mom to assist Taryn with.

She loved it!! It’s a draw!!

A couple of weeks ago my wife went to Hawaii for her sisters wedding. Yes, shame I didn’t get to go.

But I was home for 5 days with my 18 mo. old daughter. I never realized how much my stay at home wife does.

I can also relate to the situation with the athletes. Older veteran athletes really don’t need much guidance. The younger, newer ones get confused easily.

But that is where we are trying to get the younger ones to. Plus I want the older athletes to know how to workout properly when they leave us to go off to college or when they are out of college and still exercising.

We are not just developing younger athletes, we are developing future adults who need to develop personal responsibility. THanks for the mail.

Great post.
