As you can see, my list is dominant. A stay at home dad not only does all the typical mommy like things in the house, but they also mow the lawn and take out the trash--at least in our house. My argument is this, since I do the mommish stuff shouldn't I be getting the day off on Sunday? And my wife, who actually leaves her shoes all over the house and is horrible at optimizing the dishwasher, should be waiting until June for her day? I mean, at least according to 'the man' who pumps out the greeting cards that litter grocery stores, local pharmacies, Targets and Hallmark stores. Also, another aside, this time about these "hallmark holidays." These holidays, like Valentines Day and Mother's Day and such, are just ways for stores to get some sales during slower months of the year, right? Seriously, do we need holidays to remember those folks we see everyday or at least more often than most folks? I don't need a holiday to remind me that I love my wife and to treat her right, however, I think trashmen are often taken for granted. I leave my trash unorganized and just falling all over the place. These guys got their work cut out for them when they get to my house. No free lunch here. It might be an old couch one week and the next like 12 bags of leaves and a pile of warped wood. Other folks have these sparkling clean trash cans and these guys only throw out or put stuff into their trash cans if it is in a bag...not me. Chick-Fil-A cups, McDonalds Toys, newspapers, and much much worse are just loosely swimming in the can. Poor trash dude. Why not have a national holiday for folks, like the trashmen, that provide us with a service? Trashman Day, Police Man Day, Firemen Day, Walmart Greeter Guy Day and so on. No corny cards, no stupid lame gifts--just a "thank you." I guess what I am saying is I take of the motherly responsibilities in our house and my wife does the guy stuff. I had quite a few people wish me "Happy Mother's Day" which kinda got me to thinking--should SAHDs get a separate day? should we share some of the Mother's Day hype somehow? or am I just confused?
