his story starts with losing one job and starting another but really it started long before that. It started when our first son was born, let’s call him Primo from here on out. When Primo was born my wife, Beautiful, and I talked about gender roles and the modern family. We talked about nurture versus nature and our own predispositions to raising kids and being at home and decided that for us I was the one that was better suited to be at home. It was an easy decision once we talked about wanting one of us to be at home. So after the first 6 months of maternity leave I left my tech support job and started looking after Primo. Since then we have moved across the country, had a second boy, let’s call him Segundo, and switched roles twice. I am back at home after recently losing my job and I couldn’t be happier. This is the job I want, the one I am good at, and the one that best serves our family and Beautiful has started a job that is better suited for her and the best way for her to serve our family. We are where we belong as far as we can see and we are enjoying the adventure.
