Mad at Dad

I read a very interesting article this morning from parenting.com called "Mad at Dad". It sits at #1 on their most viewed column. If you haven't read it you should, very eye opening for dads and probably very, "Yeah see, I'm not the only one" for moms. Here's a link if your interested: Mad at Dad.

I hate to admit it but I fall right into these statistics she gives in this 4000 word rant. I actually feel really bad, because I know my wife has hinted at the unequal amount of things she does compared to what I do. It is also sad that it takes an article like this to shame me into helping her out more but I can guarantee that I'm going to do my best to move out of these statistics.

I know, now I'm the guy that's holding up the pom poms for guys' wives now, but you know fellas the women of our lives do handle a lot, and for the most part we get to live in our own little world a lot of the time. A lot of you will admit that we got it pretty good: nice clean home, nice warm dinner, our skivvies cleaned and folded for us. We can and should be able to reach out a hand and ask "what do you need help with." I'm as guilty as anyone of this. I believe I do pretty good with the kid but I know when it comes to the house I fall short.

So I'm personally making the challenge to guys. We know we can do anything when we want to, so lets go from "real" men to ultimate men.
