Mr. Mom~Is it worth it? Absolutely!
[Jackson praying at St. Patrick's in New York City, with his mother watching.]
We had been living in Florida for one year, in Sarasota to be exact. And my wife, son and I were enjoying the beaches and sunny skies at least thrice a week. We'd moved to the Sunshine State from Sacramento, California, where I had a cushy tenured postion as an honors high school English teacher and was on a clear track to a fulltime position at a local community college. But all that changed when I agreed to support my wife's career move. To be honest with you, it was difficult not only because I walked away from a great job, tenured security, the beginnings of professional success, and of course California living, but also because I became Mr. Mom. For if there was anything in our society that others would suggest for a "man" to do, the least of these would be to become a Mr. Mom. But that's what I did. Click HERE to read the rest.
