LOL. This is great. I’ll copy it for my husband for Father’s Day.

A very interesting post and very true! I won’t ever eat sausages again without thinking about Dunderbeck. Gross!

Brenda, from my experience, none of us live up to our pre-baby expectations. Partly because they weren’t grounded in reality. Welcome to Creating a Family, by the way. Hope you find this site, radio show, and blog helpful. Why don’t you sign up for our weekly newsletter which will tell you what resources we’ve added to the site that week and what that week’s radio show topic will be.

Thanks for the chuckles this morning! Cute story!
I love the differences between my hubby and me. It keeps a great balance in our family life. Brad is the tickle, tackle parent and I am the “lets read a book” parent.
I made lots of “plans” during the wishing for a baby years…I was going to have a children’s book of songs next to the rocking chair and sing to my babies every single day. The book idea never happened and by baby number 3 I think I forgot what a lullaby was. I have learned to forgive myself for not living up to those unreachable expectations I put on myself as a want-to-be parent. But from time to time I feel sad that I didn’t live up to at least some of those plans. That is when I take a few moments and sing to my kids when tucking them in.
Love your blog…I am a new reader.

Ouch. I just saw myself in your post and I’m not even a mom yet. I think I need to start working on this now. Thanks for the reminder. LOL

Wow. My husband and I are so different. I read books to the kids from left to right one page at a time and he was reading to the kids backwards and jumping around. It’s great to have very different people in a family. It makes each of us realize that there is no perfect way.
