I am ‘hot’
On an otherwise lazy, rainy day here in Northern Sonoma County, I was jazzed to learn that, at least according to anonymous, the author behind the snarky blog, “Mommy Wants a Drink,” I and stay-at-home dads like me are, um, “HOT.”
Here’s a snip from the the post (which a friend recommended):
-
“Any guy who can pull off the stay-at-home dad thing is HOT. I don’t care what he looks like, or how adequately or inadequately he performs his duties. There is something absolutely irresistible about a guy who is comfortable taking on this historically ‘female’ role in this day and age.”
And another:
-
“Being constantly subjected to ignorant people’s snap judgments of the stay-at-home dad– What, are you too lazy to get a job? You’re ok with having your WIFE support you? Do you watch football all day while the poor kids are left to their own devices? [It all] must be a HUGE FREAKING HEADACHE. And yet these guys seem so cool with it.”
(As I’ve documented on this blog, indeed, those judgments are really frieking annoying.)
Anyway, MWAD goes on to extol some of the benefits of being a stay-at-home-dad, including all of those desperate housewives fantasizing about being seduced by us. While I don’t really care about those bonuses (it’s all Powergirl, all the time for me), I do love the shout-out.
Mommy Wants a Drink, you’ve just garnered a new reader.
