Stay at Home Dad on HubPages
I have 10 years of teaching experience in elementary school and as a middle school English teacher. In August of 2007 my wonderful mother-in-law, who had been graciously providing daycare for our little ones, informed us that she was no longer able to do so. It was at this time my wife and I made the decision to live on her income to avoid placing our babies in daycare. Thank the good Lord she is an accountant and makes good money. It has been quite an adjustment, but we have managed well.
I have been married to my beautiful wife for a little more than five years. We have shared many wonderful experiences in this short amount of time; the birth of our two children being the most amazing. My delightful children – Abby (age 4) and Joseph (age 2) - are the reason I am a stay at home dad. I am also privileged to be the stepfather to Bryce, a hormonal preteen who has mysteriously developed an extremely severe case of selective hearing since starting puberty. I have been a part of his life since he was 7 years old. He is as important to me as my babies, he just happens to be at a very frustrating stage.
When I assumed the ‘domestic’ role I decided to dive in head first. I have become fairly adept at cleaning up the numerous messes our lovely children and our five dogs make on a daily basis, as well as all the other things a dad does: mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, maintaining the cars, and so on. Cooking, however, has been a passion since I took home economics in the eighth grade. My parents suffered through many omelets that year. Staying home has given me the opportunity to explore many new recipes and hone my cooking skills.
My other rather diverse interests include camping, ATV’s, cars, gardening, music, writing, teaching, reading, cooking, tennis, politics, and hockey.

Welcome to HubPages - my husband and I have arranged our lives so that we can work from home and spend more time with our kids, and we love the lifestyle. Congratulations, and may it work out as well for you!
