Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Come on. THINK McFly, THINK.

So like I was saying, I think that I'm the "Stay at Home Dad" version of George McFly from Back to the Future. Here's why... 


Have you ever had to go to a mandatory office party or a Christmas get together for your job? There's no alcohol allowed and everyone just kinda stands there looking at each other.  Nobody has anything in common except for work, and no one really wants to be there. So everyone finds a nerd to pick on! That's me on a day to day basis. I'm that nerd, except people are making fun of how I'm taking care of a baby. It's like I have a " KICK ME" sign on my back. I'm repeatedly getting abused, and I'm all, "Okay. Okay you guys. Ah-ha-ha-ha, very funny. You guys are being real mature"... I'm surrounded by a bunch of Biff Tannens. I love giving empirical evidence to support my claims, so let me give you some. 


If it's 95 degrees outside, I'm not going to layer my boy in 37 shirts, 222 pairs of pants, 64 pairs of socks, a sleeper, mittens, a wool hat, and 56 blankets. This seems reasonable right???


WRONG


I've had a Biff Tannen rip me a new anus over this.


Biff: He can't leave your house like that. He has to have socks on. Where are his socks? Why doesn't he have socks on? He needs his socks. He's gonna be too cold without his socks. Where do you keep his socks? Do we need to go buy him some socks? XAVI needs to have those socks on those feet.
McFly: I know, and all I can say is, I'm sorry...
Biff: Does XAVI have a winter jacket? He needs a winter jacket. Where's XAVI's winter jacket? What kind of father doesn't have a winter jacket for XAVI? Do we need to go buy a winter jacket? XAVI is going to freeze out there. Did you find those socks? Where are XAVI's socks? Where are his bunny slippers?
McFly: Now Biff, I don't think he really needs a winter coat, it's 95 degrees outside right now.
Biff: Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Come on. THINK McFly, THINK. 


OKAY, you get the point.


Anyone that isn't Marisa is a possible Biff Tannen. 


I'm no expert on any of this stuff, all of this Stay at Home Dad stuff is new to me, so If you're under the impression that you should listen to me, it's probably best that you don't. I was just informed that "You don't put breast milk in the microwave, you put the bottle in a pan of hot water if you feel like heating it up." See, NOW THAT IS USEFUL INFORMATION that was given to me in a polite manner.  
Here are some other "Stay at Home Dad" things that I have been learning. 
1. XAVI will stain every piece of clothing that he owns with his own fecal matter. That's his poop. It comes out of his butt. 
2. I shouldn't use Bleach on any of the things that I wash. It bugs XAVI's skin.
3. My Newborn shouldn't go out into direct sunlight until they are 6 months old, because old ladies will be attracted to him like moths to a flame.
4. Don't use sunscreen on a baby.


OKAY, back to the Biff stuff. 


A very wise woman once told me, "Jeeze, you got some weird ass folks out there in Richland, Washington. You should move"... Believe me when I tell you this...I WISH WE COULD!!! We're stuck here... We're homeowners... Richland, Washington has the highest population of Biffs on the planet. It's a land of Zombie Engineers, Meth labs, Drunk Drivers, and Plutonium. Add that all up and you've quite the formula for douchebaggery. It's a pressure cooker for ridiculous comments by Biffs. 


Biff: How old is your baby? Where are his socks? Why doesn't your baby have socks? What, you can't afford socks? YOUR BABY IS FREEZING TO DEATH, get that peasant boy some socks. 
McFly: I know, and all I can say is. I'm sorry.














(NOTE) George McFly WINS at the end of that movie

  1. from one stay at home parent to another, no need to apologize to others friend. most people are just trying (trying, not succeeding) to be helpful, while others think they could actually raise your child better than you, which of course is ridiculous, because its your kid, which means he's most like you which means that there's no one else in the world except mom and dad who could do the best job parenting.

    anyway, when I get the "he's not wearing..." i smile at them as if not only do i know, but that it was also very intentional and say, "nope." if they persist with "Aren't you worried..." I smile again and say "nope. thanks for the concern and have a nice day!" They may think you're crazy, but at least it will appear that you are intentionally so.
