Man Card Issues ????

[TexaswBOWhunter]

Oilfield, Mexico for now; on a 28 days on/28 days off rotation.... It sounds ALL good but when I am not on vacation I am gone from home (26 weeks a year)!!! It works out great for my family but I have seen it not work for many!!!!



And for the record, I do help out when I am home and I pull daddy everyday that I am home and domestic duty as needed, which isn't very often as my darlin bride has OCD about all that stuff... I can't even finish a glass of sweet tea and she will have the glass picked up and washed before I am done!!!!

26 weeks off a year? What do you do and are you hiring?

Here you go.... as far as hiring; right now we are all just glad to have a job!!!

-Little man doctored and fed
-Load of laundry started
-Load of laundry folded and put away
-Morning dishes done
-Work related calls (3) handled
-Trash taken out

Planned tasks are as follow.

-Care for little man
-Floors swept and vacuumed
-Dinner started
-Straighten garage
-Anything else I can figure out

Is my man card in danger of revocation?

I regret to inform you but..........YES it is.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt!

I'm proud there are men like us willing to do whatever is necessary to make the household/family run smoothly.

Now, if I just knew where my wife hid my MAN CARD????

Sounds like you are just being a good dad. Definitely no penalty for that!

If you want out of laundry duty, half *** it once or twice and you will never be allowed in the laundry room again!

I am only allowed to wash my clothes, because apparently there is a certian way to fold stuff that I haven't yet grasped.

You should probably get a medal! Wives/moms have the toughest job of any - I wouldn't want it!

Whats wrong with scrapbooking?

HEY HEY HEY!

Just for asking that question your man card is in danger of revocation. Get a grip man!

[Dirtymike]

The only job I care about is being a daddy. The rest is just part time work.

[SabreKiller]

Only on a temporary basis...

wait till you retire like me. That's all I've done since retirement. I wash clothes, do dishes, make the bed, clean house. I've even gone so far as to hang pictures up at my wife's office not only for her, but her coworkers! I've lost my man card permanently I think.

[Fishndude]

Man card's are stupid. But a real man would wear a pink tutu if it meant making his kid feel better and handling business like you are right now.

You mean like this guy??

[Bobcat]

Dad card is doing great.
Keep up the good work.

Might be some fringe benefits involved later for service rendered!
