Why We Blog
Our two-year old daughter always puts her shoes on the wrong feet. Other parents tell us that their children do as well. A common mistake, we suppose. But the funny thing we notice is that it doesn’t actually hurt her feet. She puts the left shoe on the right foot, and the right shoe on the left foot, and proceeds to run around as normal.
This is a bit of a metaphor for our family, really. We live in a role reversal. Some parents’ dream (or so they say…) and other parents’ nightmare. People question whether kids will turn out “normal” (what does that mean anyway?) if their mother isn’t the primary caregiver.
In our family, mommy goes to work every morning and daddy stays home with two toddlers. Left shoe on the right foot, right shoe on the left foot if you will. Some people think it’s strange. So we decided to launch this dualing blog to share our somewhat unique parenting story – from two perspectives.
And by the way, we think our shoes feel just fine.
