Tomorrow, My New Career Begins…

Clancy will be returning to work, and I will be at home alone with the baby for 10-15 hours.

Gulp.

  1. You will be fine! By the way, here’s a hypothetical for you. Weather is 40 degrees and damp. Mom says, no park. Dad drops Mom off and takes kids to park. Park has astroturf. 2 of the 3 kids aren’t wearing socks. Has Dad committed any criminal offense? Has Dad violated Mom’s trust if he says nothing when she says no park? Is allowing kids to play outside for 10 minutes in 40 degree damp weather with no socks (or shoes) make Dad a bad dad?

  2. Well, I survived the first day without breaking the baby. So there’s that!

    I don’t think I would freak out at kids in the park without socks on, even in cold weather. I’d be afraid that the kids would tell mom about the park and that I would be in trouble, though.

  3. Funny you should bring that up. I, er, Dad told Kids they were under penalty of death if they told Mom. Mom got home, noticed dirt on the Kids’ clothes, and asked if Dad had taken them to the park. The oldest said, “No.” Mom then asked the youngest, a 3-year old boy, “How long were you at the park?” He responded, “Not long at all.” So should the oldest be penalized for lying? Dad should have thought this through. Fortunately, Mom did not realize that two kids were not wearing socks…
