When we lived in Los Angeles we were well exposed to the joke that every waiter/waitress in town is really an actor waiting to be discovered.
I've found a similar situation with some stay-at-home dads who seem uneasy with that designation and are quick to call themselves a consultant or a trainer or (fill in the blank). I think staying home with a child is an honorable and important calling and I've never seen any reason for people to minimize it.
Since late July, I've been a stay-at-home dad, although i really didn't start that job in earnest until Mona started working two weeks ago. Until then I shamelessly slept in while she pretty much did what she's always done, which is almost everything around the house.
It's a hard job which I hope isn't long-term. But, until I figure out exactly what it is that I want to do I'm not gonna sugar-coat it--I'm a stay-at-home dad.
