Role reversal

I mentioned last month that my wife has returned to the work force.  And I, temporarily (I hope), am charged with the kids and household.

This change has been interesting.  A few weeks back, my wife called during the day to ask that I make sure we had some snacks for her game group that evening--"and make sure the house is clean." 

It took until the third week of school for me to realize, contrary to what my boys told me, that Mom never let them have a sweet snack when they came home from school.

I've enjoyed the extra time I've been able to spend with my sons. But, it is clear that I couldn't do this job long term.
