@ The Beginning.

Let me start @ the beginning. @ The end of 2007 my Wife was offered a role by a company in London. Given the situation in South Africa we decided that we would relocate and packed the cases and the kids and jetted out 8 weeks later. It was planned that she would work and I would get the kids settled and then go and get back to fighting those financial Tigers. That was the plan, then the banking bubble burst, well I shouldn’t say it burst, it shook, it wobbled and then there was a Cataclysmic explosion. It’s been 10 months since we arrived in the United Kingdom and after numerous Interviews and those dreaded sorry but we will not be pursuing your application further emails. I am now hunting dust balls with a hoovermatic and splitting the darks from the whites.

. What happened to the man I was brought up to be. You must wear the pants in the house my Dad once told me, it’s your duty to put food on you families take and a roof over their heads. My manhood striped and feeling rather sorry for myself I have hit rock bottom, I have not fulfilled my Destiny as a man. But hang on a minute why does a man have to work in the corporate world why can’t he also be a home executive and why is it Moms Taxi why not Dads Taxi. Easier said than done how do you change firstly you own mind set and then the mind set of those other men out there. Just imagine going to the pub and you get asked so what do you do, and you say a househusband.

I am really struggling with this concept. So what do we do?
