I think perhaps the toughest job on the planet is that of a father. Wonder Boy is so blessed to have had this guy to provide safe haven for him for the last almost 18 years. Wonder Dad jumped into the father job with gusto from day one! In fact, while I was out of it in the hours after delivery, he took charge of the first diaper and never looked back.
One day it may change, but parenthood hasn't gotten any easier from those early days filled with diapers. These days the duties involve fewer objectionable odors, but it is no less exhausting. Since home is our safe space, we get to see the Boy at his absolutely finest, but also at his lowest.
Since school started about a month ago, the Boy's stress level is at an all time high. And I'm afraid Wonder Dad often has to bear the brunt of the Boy's frustrations. But as you can see, the Boy still knows where to find his biggest supporter (one of them anyway) once all is said and done.
