After this week I can honestly say, I prefer man-to-man coverage over zone! My wife left on a four-day business trip Monday and flew in last night. Don’t misunderstand, the four days with my boys was really nice bonding time but parenting definitely requires a partnership between committed individuals! In my opinion, it takes equal contributions from a Dad and a Mom. I discovered this week that there are certain roles that only Mom can fill (physically, emotionally and physiologically). No matter how hard a person tries, Dad can’t be a Mom (and Mom can’t be a Dad). I feel for all those individuals that are enduring single parenthood. No one should have to do the job of two people themselves!
