Calling all the dads.

I wanted to start this blog as for a while now I have heard that dad's just go out to work and leave mum to it. We have a 15 month old and before he was born, we wanted to do things differently. I didn't want to miss out too much on our son's life. Sure, one of us will have to work more than the other but my first priority was to my family, not my job. I love being a personal trainer, however, I am a husband/dad first. It does mean that I am trying to do it all which at times can be tough!!

Now i'm not saying for one second saying that women have it easier than us. Quite the contrary. Both have it tough and for probably the first time in your relationship, you are both looking at life completely differently and will most likely not understand the other person's point view. Add in some sleep deprivation and it can lead to some pretty heated discussions!! The most important thing for me is discussing it and knowing that I am not alone. It is perfectly normal to feel these things admitting you have these feelings shouldn't be a dirty secret! In a group guys would give very little away but once you get them on their own, it all comes out!! Hey, it's our fault because in fitting with Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, we go into our caves instead of talking about problems. It was only when I spoke to men individually, that I found out that we all think the same !!

So i'm calling out all the men. If you have secretly stayed in your car a little longer than you should have before entering the house, or secretly hoped your wife would attend to your crying child at 3am, then get involved and follow my blog. I'll be discussing, the mummy mafia, trophy dads, and baby poker (which is game that mums play when they are comparing the stats of their kids).

Despite the challenges, I wouldn't change this period of my life as I get to spend quality time with my son as he develops and some of the things I have witnessed is free comedy.
