I’m OK with being called Mr. Mom- depending on who you are
Hi, my name is Trey and I’m a stay at home dad. During the day I care for an 18 month old and 3.5 year old. I get called Mr. Mom a couple of times a week and for the most part it doesn’t bother me. “Oh are doing the Mr. Mom today”, the cashier will innocently say. I’ll politely say, no, I do this full time, they’ll feel stupid and we’ll leave. Continue reading I’m OK with being called Mr. Mom- depending on who you are
4 disgusting things I do because I’m a Dad
Stay at home dads are just like stay at home moms for the most part. Granted our child running into my groin* would hurt much worse than him doing the same thing to his mom, but parenting wise, we’re all on the same field. A nice post last week highlighted 5 disgusting things that moms do. Any parent can identify with them, but I wanted to add perspective from this side of the chromosome.

Naptime DIY: How to install a thermostat
A couple of years ago I paid $160 for an HVAC person to come in and replace an aging thermostat. Fast forward to current times and our upstairs unit was turning on and off without rhyme or reason. Because the repair person told me then that they both should be replaced I knew what to do. Having seen it done then I knew that it was a project that you can easily do in 15 minutes.

Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover
I’ve always wanted a pipe wrench. The name sounds tough, combining two rugged words that make one super jagged word that actually serves a purpose and is made of steel? That is bordering on testosterone overload. I have a pair of Channel Lock pliers. They do roughly the same thing as a pipe wrench. But if a pipe wrench is Chuck Norris, a pair of Channel Lock pliers is John Stamos. Continue reading Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover
Swifter: Man Up is clever, funny, great advertising aimed at men
America loves a good comeback story. Back when the Olympics were on television there was a series of commercials with the tag line ‘Thank you, Mom. P&G, Proud Sponsor of Moms’. Prior to that there was the whole Pampers, so easy a dad can do it campaign. Personally, neither campaign spoke to me in a negative or positive light. The second one was a bad ad campaign and the first had a bad tag line, but I could understand who they were aiming for.
