Ok, it is time to come clean and admit things that we would NEVER utter in public. I have some guilty confessions to make that I am not proud of, but they are true.
I believe I am not alone in this and there are many other husbands and fathers out there that have done the same things I have. So let us repent together and acknowledge what we have done.
Childrens shows that I either sing along with and or have watched:
Dora
Barney
Baby Einstein
“Wife” shows that I have gotten sucked into and cannot escape (resistance is futile)
Gray’s anatomy
Smallville
American Idol
So you think you can dance
Dancing with the stars
I ask that my brothers in arms to forgive me for what I have done (watched). I am now off to ride my ATV and shoot something in disgust. :eek:
I have to admit I have become my wifes bitch and watch American Idol.
I wont tell my age but im way to old for the baby my younger wife and I have and now I watch the Wiggles daily and know all of the damn songs!
I believe in setting my goals as low as possible. That way, if I don’t achieve them, I don’t feel to bad about it. So Blues Clues is a fall back self esteem enhancer.
And veggie tales is just funny to me, and really makes me hungry for salads.
Forgive me brothers for I too have sinned. In the last seven years as a husband and father I have commited the following “sins”.
First concert:
The Wiggles
Kids’ shows:
The Wiggles
Dora the Explorer
Diego
Any Spiderman cartoon for my boy
Wife’s shows:
ER
What about Brian
As an attempt for redemption I have done the following,
Shows I sucked my wife into:
Mail call
Future Weapons
UF 5
any UFC ppv
Following Grant’s example I am going to make a trip to the range and shoot both my rifle and pistol until either I am out of rounds or my hands are too sore to continue.
FINE! Yes, I’ve done it!
I’m a stay-home Dad. I have to take a training class to be around adults for three days once or twice a year.
I’ve sung along to kid’s shows, but the songs on Noggin between shows (that are performed by what I’m guessing are unsuccessful rockers) are the ones that get me most. Speaking of Noggin, their commercials with the adults singing the Franklin theme in the elevator cracks me up.
Wonder Pets and Oswald are good for getting a song stuck in my head all day, but I do tend to change the lyrics some…
Watching wife shows? No. My wife doesn’t watch any. She usually has HGTV on. She used to watch ER some, but as a hospital pharmacist she got sick of all the errors.
The GF has sucked me in to 3 shows, and I don’t really mind in any case:
24 - fun gunplay
Lost - hot chicks mud wrestling
Deperate Housewives - MILFs!
Her son 9 year old watches a ton of TV, and while a couple of shows I don’t mind watching, I don’t watch religiously. The less than annoying shows:
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
Some show with a kid named Billy and Death
I won’t have anything to do with the following, you figure out which ones are the GF and which ones are the kid"
Grey’s Anatomy
House
Jimmy Neutron
Fairly Oddparents
I did manage to get the GF hooked on reruns of Six Feet Under (if you can overlook the gay buttsex, it was a good show), and her and the kid like Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters, and she tolerates UFC.
Gray’s anatomy
American Idol
Dancing with the stars
Lost
I can handle Lost even though I have no idea what’s going on. I leave the room for the other three or just read a book.
My daughters are all pre-teen so I cannot even be in the same room with their shows. I look just long enough to make sure it’s not too stupid, sexual, or ethnic . Then I quickly get the hell out of dodge.
