It is common I think (at least in the LDS community) for Mother's to think of their work (not Motherhood work, but outside-of-Mom work) as temporary; something they will do until.... There's often a clearly defined "exit" for them from that job (though the timing of that exit isn't always so clear). For Father's, that exit is much more vague and seems like an eternity away. By then, the kids will all be grown and they start listing "Grandfather" on survey's asking for their occupation.<BR/> Anyway, that's my $.02Matt Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224710061292919819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313566583174432163.post-64393479187562463052008-05-10T06:37:00.000-06:002008-05-10T06:37:00.000-06:00That's because fatherhood is a party! When my Jas...That's because fatherhood is a party! When my Jason comes home the kids are so excited they start running around in circles and squealing. They both want to cuddle with him for twenty minutes. They babble on about all the good things we've done. We eat dinner. Then while I'm doing dishes and cleanup they play with toys and get on pajamas. We read scriptures and they go to bed. How can that be a job? It is way to fun. Its more like a hobby :)Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com
