Since the post Stay at home dads our lives have changed again. Mere male (as per the reference to New Idea MM stories) and my new name for N, our lives have turned upside down again.
Three weeks ago MM’s Boss called and said, “There is no more work, you can go home.”
No questions asked, and dejected MM interpreted it as, “There is no more work, I lost my job.”
As we made new plans, pulled the girls out of childcare, and applied for a cheaper rental property around my work, the Real Estate agent contacted our employers (we had submitted our current payslips).
MM’s Boss called, “Where have you been these past weeks?”
MM, “You fired me”
MM Boss, “No I didn’t. I just said there was no work and to go home”
<Insert another hour of man talk>
MM entered the house with a spring in his step. “I have a promotion, three staff and a company car and I am back to work full time Monday to Friday”
Grrrrl….
So I have been frantically trying to re enrol the girls back into childcare and cancell the move.
Men and communication.
Moana and Daddy. My new favourite pic of the man of the house.
