You Just Broke Your Child. Congratulations.

Being a parent is hard work. It's the toughest job I've ever had .
December 8th, 2015 my daughter was born. Three doctors told my wife she would never have kids. Tilted uterus, scar tissue, etc etc. I guess I proved them wrong. I always joke....right angle, right time. 9 months later, 8lbs 12iz and 21 inches. She's still on pace to be roughly 5-10.
Anyways, the first 6 months were very hard on my wife. She's a military brat so her patience for things is not the best.
We're both against child care and that wasn't an option. Long story short, she came to my job one afternoon and told me I was the best dad our daughter could ask for. The next sentence blew me away.
I want you to quit your job and be a full time dad. 2 weeks later she found a job that actually made more money than I was making and I put in my 2 weeks notice.
Our plan was to make the double income sacrifice and wait till she was in school full-time before I went back to the work force.
4 years ago I was an auditor and loss prevention officer. Now I'm taking classes for home inspection. As a home inspector, it will allow me to work within our daughters school schedule. I will be able to make my own schedule and work for myself.
I've had all kinds of jobs growing up, but being a full time dad is the hardest most gratifying job I've ever had. You have to be hands on 24-7, 365 days a year. I haven't had a day off or a babysitter since I began the full time daddy role. I've played 1 round of golf in 4 years....that's sacrifice.
My wife didn't want our daughter to go through the same things she did as a child.
She recognized that her disciplined child hood was coming out and expecting a baby/now 4 1/2 to go through the same things she did wasn't going to happen.
My daughter is full of life, full of questions, and confident as can be. Shes very social, smart as a whip, and caring.
Talk to your kids, it works wonders.
Put yourself second, and the kids first.

PS. I use about 15% of my phone battery a day. The parents glued to theirs, put them down. Use them when they're sleeping.
If you put anything before your kids, you shouldn't have had them
