[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once said to DH, "If our kids got lost, and the police asked you 'what were they wearing', you would have no clue". To which he responded, "yea, probably".[/quote]

Working Mom here and that is what my answer would be. My DH takes DS to school, I handle pick up. I can't say that I pay a ton of attention to what he is wearing when I pick him up. Camp days are easier, he has to wear a camp shirt. But I do have a ton of pictures on my phone so I could show that to the Officer and give a very specific description of what he looks like and what shoes he is wearing.

I spend more time with our child because I pick him up from school and am with him after school. DH gets home from work around bed time because those are the hours he needs to work to drop DS off at school. But DH spends a good amount of time with DS on the weekend so I can get in my naps (I love naps) and is the one who sits next to DS on the plane and plays games with DS on the plane.

We have our strengths and weaknesses and we play to those.

Are there things my DH does that drive me crazy? Yes. Are there things I do that drive him crazy? Yes. But DH is a great Dad who takes on a good amount of the child rearing responsibility. He loves being a Dad. He is the one bummed that there is only one child, I am fine with that.

I am sorry that not everyone has a similar experience but there are a good number of great Dads out there who are not dropping the ball. I guess that I am lucky and married one of them.[/quote]
