BACK TO SCHOOL EUPHORIA

Stay-at-home dad excited for start of school

I retired after a 35-year career in education. After such a lengthy career, I never thought to hire a career counselor for the next phase of my life. Big mistake, the extent of which I realized after I traded positions with my wife. Our Stay-at-Home-Mom went back to work and I became the Stay-at-Home-Dad.

Why didn't someone give me a job description? My classroom was much more peaceful than spending all day with our two children during the summer.
