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.

My wife watches Dancing with the Stars, and until they kicked off that Shandi Hennessey, it wasn't too bad on the eyes. Jebus, what a pair of legs!

Ok fellas...no offense, but you need to reimpose your will some here...

EDIT: I should also add I am a stay at home Dad...so i guess if I hadnt imposed my will more I would have shot myself by now

I too am married with 2 boys (ages 5 and 1)...

i FREAKING HATE Dora and the wiggles and all those things...


From a very young age I bought my son the animated Batman, Superman, and Justice League series...as a comic book nut I was fine with those....he watched Dora too and that stuff some too, but he has a playroom, and that was "his time"....when he watch stuff with Dad...it was the superheroes...the Teen Titans were good for this too...as an aside, now that he is 5 there are good Chapter books out there for the reading skills...

Of the more "educational" ones, i think the one I liked the best was Clifford...

His FIRST CONCERT was....THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND....he has his own ipod with DMB, U2, REM etc on it....my cousiin had a son about 4 months before mine and was always downloading the wiggles and stuff...to HELL with that...Jack listens to Bruce and the Beatles and Hendrix...and does so happily...I will take him back to Dave this summer (its outdoor...so I can keep him away from the potheads and the contact buzz...)

As far as TV shows....my wife and I every week watch

Friday Night Lights (good mix of football and chick stuff)
Smallville (this cant be a total chick show, its about Superman)
Battlestar Galactica
Jericho
Heroes
(we are through season 4 in 24, i have all of season 6 TIVOed, we are working to catch up)

she loves these shows as much, if not more, as I do...especially Battlestar...and 24...

And we have now started watching the Deadliest Catch as well, and it has been added to the Tivo, at her request...

I have never, and will never, watch: American Idol, Survivor, Dancing with whomever, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, etc etc etc....

I do like My Name is Earl...and I watch Scrubs...but she wouldnt watch any of that stuff either...in fact I think she hates it more than i do...she calls me all the time because woman at her work wont shutup about that stuff...and then asks when we can watch another disc of 24....of course I clean and cook for her a lot too...i guess after 9 years of marriage we have each other pretty well trained....

Second edit: having said all that....I understand....time with kids and wife are invaluable...i would probaby gladly choke down watching Emmitt Smith dance (and I am a lifelong Redskins fan) so I could laugh about it with my wife...

[rob_s]

I glaldly watch desperate housewives just like I gladly watched Sex & the City. I only wish that housewives was an HBO program so we'd get a little boobie action!

[JAYTEAM]

Does it offset all of your transgretions that I have turned Mrs Jayteam into a UFC addict?

[sjauch]

Wow, I feel sorry for you guys.

[HAMMERDROP]

No kids so I cant relate... but I hear you guys have fun and should you are entitled. IMHO Fathers are the best part of a parental unit they teach autonomy and independence and more often than not what the word 'NO' means on the other hand I'd watch their Mothers, on Mondays and Tuesdays ALL the Women I work with are trying to give away their kids (LOL) so I imagine its a nationwide occurance...of course there are no takers.
American Idol is strictly Verbotten in my living room sorry Simon but you suck and I wont mar my TV's picture tube with your repressed mug, so as far as getting sucked in I'll admit I have pushed the 'record' button for my Wife who teaches PSR class at a local Church on the nights American Midol is on so she can watch it when she comes home, on the TV in the back bedroom !!
I will not apologize American Idol is a bone of contention around here but I have prevailed with ammo to spare !
I carry the torch ... be strong fight for your rights to watch the Military Channel, Weaponology and Shooting Gallery and then joyously sing along with the boys from platoon 2032 and they sing M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E at the end of Full Metal Jacket. Its what we do ...but I understand.

bah, dont feel sorry for me...I LOVE my life...i have a wife who I have known for 20 years, and have been married to for 9, and I still find new and fun things out about her....

I have two fantastic kids....my oldest son played in his first competitive soccer game ever yesterday...it was awesome...he scored the only goal his team had (they arent very good, but they are 5)....and you can already tell he is athletically going to be pretty damn gifted....


I chose this life.....you could offer me being single again as a millionaire and i wouldnt take it.....not now, not ever...

I feel sorry for people that dont have this....
