Dads are NOT Moms

As a dad I view things differently then does my wife or other moms both current and expecting.

I had a couple of people over (moms) who were astounded that I was using a cloth diaper as a burp rag, because in there minds cloth diapers are diapers. Once they saw how good it worked they said that they would most likely incorporate it into their own lives.

A bulb syringe is used to clean the babies nose, in my world its a tool to blow air into my sons face, which in turn caused him to give a huge smile.

Burp clothes are to clean the child's face, but to me it is yet the most awesome toy to use with my son. It goes into his mouth for his chewing pleasure moved around to make his head shake and makes him to a belly laugh.

The way I hold my child is different then that of how a mom holds him. I hold him with one hand on one side of my body, this allows him to see where we are walking too. I have had a few mothers run up to me yelling "his going to fall" and try to pull him out of my arm because I'm a bad father for holding him that way. As soon and they hold him in the "proper position" he screams and cries.

Yes I'm a dad and I do things differently, that does not mean it's wrong it's just different but at the end it works and my son enjoys it, because it is all a game to him.

Don't be disappointed or frustrated that your wife or other moms get after you for not doing things the way they do. Just admit that your not them, there your children too and your way works for both you and your children.
