A Dad’s Perspective::Pink Bows + Tampons

To Whom It May Concern:

I was once a single man living in Metro Detroit, I had free reign to do as I pleased and my home was decorated as any man would have it… sparse! There is a song by Kenny Chesney called “Don’t Blink”, the premise is that if you blink life keeps moving. Well, I blinked.   When I opened my eyes I had lost the counter space in my bathroom to hair brushes and makeup, pink had become a color that was used frequently to paint walls and apparently I will never understand certain things in life that only the fairer sex does. Things such as why feminine products have to command so much space under the counter, why Justin Bieber calls himself an “artist” and why emotions trump logic!! It was a long blink!!

I love my girls, of which I have three, a beautiful wife and two amazing daughters! One is 13 and the other almost 2. They are my life and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. However, there is so much estrogen (attitude) in my home that even my “man” spots ooze pink and ribbons and sass! When I ask why, I feel like Jon Snow from GOT (Game of Thrones) being told “you know nothing” . Well I am learning… let the women have their pink walls and teeny pop music and understand that you shouldn’t blink cause life will pass you by and you won’t get the chance to fight for that last little bit of counter space for your toothbrush!!

 

Sincerely,

Husband “X”
