\"mama\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes I take care of the kids for a few hours while my wife goes out. Other times, when she\u2019s sick, I step in to help do some of her work and keep the household running. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing the past few days.<\/p>\n

How she ever has dinner ready AND the house clean when I come home at night, I don\u2019t know. It never happens when I\u2019m in charge. On my watch, dinner is late (or messed up), books, toys, and couch cushions are strewn from one end of the house to the other, and oh yeah\u2014I forgot to move the laundry again. It\u2019s too many plates for me to spin at once!<\/p>\n

This never fails to be an eye-opening experience for me.<\/strong> How easily I forget the dedication, skill, and hard work it takes to care for a house full of little people.<\/p>\n
