Poolman: ... this was my first daddy weekend with the boy while mommy gets some much needed fun and relaxation with old friends. Still have one more day to go, but feel like I’m coasting now. My arms and back are sore, my eyes are weary, my nerves are on pins and needles. The boy won an overwhelming victory in our war of wills. He proved again, as he has since the day he was born, he is the boss. I had big goals for the weekend. First steps, get all the way through “Green Eggs and Ham”, maybe even do some chores around the house. I managed to keep the kitchen clean and caught two innings of a baseball game on TV. This weekend my reality has focused in, as if under a microscope, life is great, and mommy is king of the world when she gets home.

Question: How lost would you be without your mate's help in raising your children?
