Those guys that would dismiss you for stay home have issues they don’t even know about. If anything I wish I could be more like you, but stay this handsome

Gee Phil, you’re making me feel like a slacker. We just have one kid and I don’t home school.

I can relate with you on the missing father bit. Not having a real stable household has made that a priority for me and my family.

Here’s to breaking the chain!

Great interview and I other commenters’ admiration of your ability to juggle being a SAHD and home schooling. I have great respect for people who are able to do this, and am certain I could never do it myself.

Also, the latte part IS great, but the conversations about the economy stink! You’re not missing anything, believe me. Usually I try to divert those conversations to something more positive, like death or the Cubs.

Glad to meet you!

My hat goes off to you for being a stay at home dad and for adding homeschooling on top of that. Your words resonate with me in many ways. It’s so true that you have to give up your preconceived ideas of how you think your children will respond. We have five kids and they are all different from one another and from me and my wife. Yet, we are a family and all of our differences and unique “quirks” come to together and somehow work. Glad you were featured here. I look forward to checking out your site.

I share the experience of having been frightened by children when I was a young man. It wasn’t until I held my own for the first time that the fear melted away and was replaced by a love I’d never known before. Kids are the best. Great interview and wonderful to hear from another committed dad.
