Son,

I am embarrassed again. I read some of the comments to your post on being a house husband. They got it – I ran around it. The comments you received were considerate of your sense of self – my response was an academic discussion on semantics.

Why is it so difficult to just simply acknowledge another person – why do I have to run around with intellectual debate? Many times we have already resolved issues before we present them – we don’t need advice – just affirmation.

I love you and am proud of you – you are everything I had hoped you might become.

Dad
