@rubym It all depends on you. I was in a bad relationship. My wife did absolutely nothing. You know the stereotypical dad? The guy who refuses to change diapers, never gets involved, only plays with the kids when it's convenient for him? That was my wife! I played the role of typical mom, doing it all. I changed the diapers, got them dressed, fed them, got up in the middle of the night when they woke up. I was the one. And it was great fun. As far as I'm concerned, my wife did me a huge favor. I did it all but that also means I got it all. All the joy, the love, the fulfillment, it was all mine. Yes, it can be the most fun you'll ever have if you let it be fun. Taking care of kids isn't a chore, it's a privilege.

@rubym Being a full hands-on parent was the most rewarding job I've ever had. You'll love it.
