Sometimes I feel all alone.......a Dads perspective

For all of you that don't know me goto tangledeutopia.com and it will explain a lot about me and my family. Here a few pics of the family so you can get an idea of what I'm working with.  Now, in saying that, read on with caution.....

Miss Talks A lot

Runs with Sissors

Hootie

Sometimes I can sit here in a full house and not even be noticed. My wife, (Queen Hasalotakids), my 3 kids, (runs with sissors,Hootie and Miss Talks A lot) all seem to forget that I'm here unless they need something or just want to find a reason to make me angry. Now don't think that this happens all of the time, but more than often it does. How many times have you dads wondered what it would be like to have the ability to become visible when you are clearly invisible? Well, I have a view on the matter....It may not work for all of you, but some of you will really enjoy this.

1. When you walk in the door and no one says "Hello" what do you do? The answer is simple, Say hey guys I'm home and walk towards your wife and kiss her on the cheek. Then proceed to find your children and say hello to them and ask them how their day was. Then politely retreat to wherever you go to either change or just get comfortable.

2. I don't know what the rest of you do but when I get comfortable I usually try to take atleast 15-20 minutes to relax. Most of the time everyone leaves me alone to wind down. Well usually they leave me alone. So why am I asking you this question? Well this is when the invisibility factor starts........sometimes I take a quick cat nap and boom---I hear my name being called. If I don't answer right away I usually get my name called a little bit louder. Then there is the infamous loud call and the "I'm getting mad at you" sigh. How do you avoid this situation? The answer is simple, don't fall asleep and shorten your "down time". Always ask the family if they need anything or any help. Plain and simple right?

3. Now lets talk about what happens when you ask a kid to do something and they immediatley say ok and goto momma and ask if they have to do it. Doesn't that just frustrate the hell out of you? Once again this is where the invisibility factor comes in. Sometimes, I just can't win, no matter what I ask or what I say the kids will always ask momma if they have to or I will get backtalk. How do you solve this problem and become visible again? Well, first things first, talk to your significant other and explain what your feelings are about the subject at hand. Maybe, just maybe, if you have a wife like mine she will understand and will help you work through the issue. If she isn't, well brother, thats a whole different issue and we will talk about that in another blog post.

Ok, ok, I will quit writing a book and give you a breather. Since I'm new to this I will seperate this series into several differen't blogs. Guys we all need a little help understanding our families. Maybe this will help you get started.

Question of the day

Why when you ask someone to ask an off the wall question, they can't do it? It is because the questions are usually so random no one can think of one. Weid huh?

This is all I have today for my first blog. Maybe when i get home and ask the one and true blogger in the house, I will add all of the good stuff that needs to be on this thing.
