I’m Hsuan (Shen), and I’m a stay-at-home-dad. Now, I just wanted to get this out front--being a SAHD wasn’t my first choice. My first choice was to continue my profession as a copywriter, writing throw-away pieces for businesses big and small. First choices are not always the best choices, though.
Like many others, I’ve not been able to find significant long-term work for 18 months. So, my very patient wife and I decided that it would help us financially if we got rid of that huge daycare bill so I could be become a SAHD.
So that I wouldn’t go stir-crazy and have some creative outlet, she suggested I start a blog. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone want to read about a stay-at-home-dad?” Well, I found a number of SAHD blogs that were funny and/or poignant, and thought, hey, I want to do this.
So here I am, a 40+ year old SAHD caring for a just-turned-two year old daughter. Life throws you a lot of curve balls, doesn’t it? (Thus endeth the baseball metaphors. I promise!)
