My friend Abbie and I were talking today,
About how hard it must be for a guy,
to take the full responsibility of “Nurturing a child,”
and becoming a stay-at-home Dad.

And she asked me what I feel about it, based on my experience.

And I was honest with her,
I told her that there are days when a man can get so overwhelmed,
we feel like we’re gonna lose our minds.

As strong as we think we are,
we can only take so much.

“It must be a guy thing too.” I said.
“We’re just not as strong as women.”

We need to take a break from time to time.
A long, long break.

She laughingly agreed.

So I got into thinking.

It really is true.
Us men, have nothing to brag against women.
We can never compete with how they handle stress and pressure of raising a child.

Not to mention “childbirth.”

There is no way in this world,
us men will ever have any idea,
let alone grasp,
the feeling of a painful childbirth.

We can never top that.

Although,
one night,
I stepped on Tyler’s alphabet blocks.

That must have been pretty close.

Because it sure did hurt like a Mother Trucker!
