Having your first kid is stressful, scary as hell, and drop dead amazing all at once. But, should you be fortunate to share the responsibilities with a spouse, you have the ability to tag team all the screams, cries, vomit, and piss on the walls. You have one responsibility and you do everything you can to take care of that little bugger.

Having another kid, on the other hand, evens out the teams. Now you need to worry about KID A (I love Radiohead) and KID B. You have to worry about meeting each of their needs. And you have to worry about how they both interact with you and your wife, and how they interact with each other.

I was Daddy Day Care yesterday as my Wife was a little under the weather.  Talk about hard work!  I was so happy to go to work today just to get a break!  I have a new respect for the stay at home Mum (notice I said Mum not Mom – I am still a Kiwi at heart!)…
