Too Stupid to Quit

Single dad is now a happy work at home parent:)

The idea of being a work at home dad came long before I became a single work at home parent, but that idea and quest for a way to make it happen caused a number of marital challenges years ago. I love to work, that has never been an issue ... but I love to have time with my family too. As the sole provider for many years of a large family, most of my time was spent earning money. I wanted to earn that living at home and looked for ways to do it for years. Sure it caused a lot of financial stress as each failure stacked on top of the previous one, but I have an old saying that keeps me going and my excuse for never stopping; I'm too stupid to quit. Sounds sort of negative I know, but it keeps me in the game.

Anyway, when I did become a single parent of an infant and three others I continued to work my sales job and attempted to raise my children too. But every single day I had to make a choice that no parent should ever have to make, earn a living or raise my kids. I saw the single moms dropping off their kids at the daycare and could see that several of them had the same inner conflict in their minds daily as well. It became so much of a challenge with me that I quit my job and started working part time at the daycare so I could be with my son and earn some money too. I even imagined starting a daycare in my own home.

Work at home parent ... are you crazy?

I was literally going crazy trying to think about a way to get my life going in the direction I wanted it to. I thought there was something wrong with me for thinking I could stay at home with my kids and be a work at home parent. Everybody else sure thought I was either crazy for thinking I could be a single work at home parent or I was just being lazy and trying to get out of working for a living. Being a financial failure was never a part of my plan, but I could accept that better than being a failure as a parent to my children.

I'm going to be a work at home parent!

So, being too stupid to quit and all, I forgot about all the failed website ventures, the online stores I started, the website designing, the freelance programming, and countless other ideas that flopped and I started seeking out people that were doing what I wanted to be doing. I wanted to be a work at home parent and by God, that's what I'm going to be! It became more than an idea, beyond a quest or a mission ... It became a commitment, a calling, a do or die!

Amazing when a real decision is made how the waters suddenly part, the light is turned on; the mysteries of the universe are revealed. Well not exactly like that, but some things that didn't make sense to me before suddenly made sense. And things that I had no faith in working seemed to give me hope and confidence that they would work beyond my wildest dreams. Now I'm back in the game and succeeding at it ... raising my kids and working at home. That's the only choice I wanted to make, it just seemed it wasn't being offered.

I'm a single work at home dad by necessity rather than by choice. In any event, if you're looking to become a work at home parent visit the link to my website above, or click here for options and ideas for the work at home parent.
