What? A father watches the baby? The wife gets to go away? How come nobody told me this was possible! I’m booking a vacation immediately!

GOOD LUCK! Maybe invest in some earplugs?

I’m sure the first day or two Leta will be captivated by the novelty of someone different being at her beck and call. After that buddy, you’re on your own…Good luck.

All children are evil.
I pity you.

Well, if you have a crisis just send out a cry for help and I’m sure some nearby internuts will come to your rescue with free assvice, tea and sympathy.

Otherwise I think you’ll be fine. At this age it’s all about keeping cool and redirection. This is the time to take full advantage of her short attention span.

You never know though, maybe Leta will behave angelically just to piss off her mom!

I hope for both of you, Leta is cooperative (up to a point), does not attain any extremely momentous milestones in H’s absence (up to a point), and that you do not discover a need for the Beltone by the end of your solo daddy weekend. It sounds like Miss L hits some notes that can be heard all the way up on the space station. Maybe she’s actually speaking Russian. (And then we can come full circle to the need for good vodka, for you both.)

You will survive. All fathers eventually have this moment. One where he is tested. It’s just too psych you out. Just breathe deep and remember, there is no spoon.

Or you can follow the advice of the fun people that frequent your blog, but really I’d stay away from the tampons..

Good luck.

LOL! Why IS it that my kids always behave better for daddy than for me? And he can be home with them for 3 hours, clean the house and do the laundry and I can’t do ONE of those things when I’m home with them for 8?

I always love the opportunity to spend some good quality time with my son. When it’s just the two of us it seems he is on his very best behavior.

I’m sure you and Leta will have an amazing, even though challenging, time together.

Jon, you’ll do just fine. We all have faith in you
