My life as a Homedad...

Aside from keeping myself busy doing the daily tasks and obligations demanded by my on-line business and investments I have another role to keep.... which is being a HOMEDAD.

Is it a tough role?

Yes it is! Having on-line business on the side its tough but who can resist that charming smile, tingling giggles and soft touches of his little hands, me? Nah! ... I will give up everything for him anytime.

What are the tasks?

• Diaper Changes (DC)
  

During the first days I would say Yuck! what's that smell? It gives me nose bleeds (Just kidding).
Eventually you will get used to it though and you will never get your day complete without it.

I am not monitoring the time between DCs but I think I'm doing it every 2 to 4 hours or whenever our
room smells like the Yuck thing! a tough one.

• Milk Shakes (MS)

I'm glad I have Mr. Electric Kettle and Mr. Sterilizer with me. Both of them made my life easier in just
a click of a button. Mr. EK boils the water for me in under 2 mins. while Mr. S makes the milk bottle
sterile in under 5 mins. Simply amazing!

MS are fed up to 6 times a day after mixing the required scoops of milk to water ratio. Easy!

• Bottle Wash (BW)

After the MS are fed, of course there's the empty bottle to take care of. I have a total of 9 bottles on
rotation as soon as I got 3 of those I wash them up and turn over to Mr. S for sterilization. Easy!

• Being Silly (BS)

Whenever he is awake only 2 things happens, he cries or he smiles at you. When he smiles I just smile
back but when he cries that's trouble! I will immediately check if he needs DC or MS but if both fails
the next thing I'm doing is to be BS then his smiles are all ears. I wonder why?

While he is sleeping...

Of course this is the best time for business as usual... and also a time for BW among other things.


So what do I think about being a Homedad?


I was an Engineer for 10 years, I trained and managed people, successfully done many projects and was successful in my field. My decision to becoming a Homedad is very very much worth it. I got rid of my boss and the demands that goes along with him. Haha! I have now the full control of my time and be my own boss (of course my wife is really the big boss) and most importantly I am with my dearest son Raphael Jaydrek. Finally, being a Homedad is a wonderful experience...
