Slice of life of a daddy 2

I wonder if this blog should not be called simply "slice of life of a Dad ". I think of it. So much to say in this area and especially from this perspective. There is still a risk, that of writing banalities about fatherhood, about family life. Too bad I take the risk.

I do not remember who said that today's fathers are the new adventurers of modern times. That may be true. The way we are today Daddy seems very different from our fathers and light years from that of our grandfathers. The major theorists of child development, Winnicott, Dolto etc., were based on family patterns that exist virtually today. Dads have changed significantly since at least twenty years and this is not a scoop.

It is certainly true of the social milieu in which I move. Around my friends and colleagues-dads that combine work and family life, sharing household chores with Madame (more or less, no exaggeration!), Cooking, child rearing. But who bathe their babies, changing diapers, getting up during the night for the bibis, read stories, go to the pediatrician.

Dads today are a few moms in some cases. Let psychologists supposedly tragic consequences of these developments. Anyway Dad can sometimes appear to be a second job, with its daily obligations, its high responsibilities, his salary (payroll is done in kisses, the universal currency runs very stable)

What moms do not feel neglected at this stage of reading, I do a little deliberately did not talk about it.

Being a father is an adventure. May sometimes be experienced as a big sacrifice. There are days of the blues like that. But finally it is perhaps the blow to speak with a touch of humor in describing this or that anecdote paramount in my life dad.

This blog is therefore likely to evolve and take a few steps from lobby municipal kindergarten. I thought ...

Slice of life of a dad. Episode 1

The Free time is scarce for a father of three boys. There are four or five minutes for yourself lying here and there during the day, but it's never enough. It's a race against time when a father is both a self-serious, any less present. There is a mom who shares the daily tasks with excellence that makes his job as mom, but in the end did not it either, free time. Of course this is true for the father is also mum.

So we need to know to appreciate the quiet moments. They counted on the fingers of one hand. He must think a few seconds to remember where to hide these havens of peace. There's so little! There

break pee / poop in the toilet, the last refuge of the father in search of calm. There are also bathroom break (in the same spirit as the toilet). That said, while Dad three children will confirm that even in the citadel of the crapper, there is someone to bother you. The smallest of the three generally.

Not bad as the car paused, once you ran like crazy to accompany No. 1 and No. 2 in school. Is the break "trip to the job." Not always serene.

Sometimes you have to flee. Well, it's not the big fugue eh, it's just history to fetch bread and blow five minutes. It's important five minutes with yourself. Because when it's five at home, being alone with oneself is the great luxury, very rare a moment it must taste.

There is also this blessed moment of all parents, or where the toddlers are going to sleep ... after pee, brush teeth, history, scraping back, the kiss, the hug, a glass of water, re-pee ... It is usually near 9:00 p.m. .... PHEW!

And for the dad that I am, there's the late night in summer open windows. The whole house is sleeping soundly. There will be a bottle in two or three hours but no matter, there is silence, the quiet time just me. To read, write, listen to music blogger. Moment of grace. O time, suspend your flight ...

Ghosts in my house? And why not rats or cockroaches as we're at it! Still, we came something a little weird three years ago. "Chelou" as the teens say. I'm atheist in an atheist, unbeliever limit, quite rational not to say at every turn septic fields, with this history, I had the doubt!

whole story revolves around an old cupboard. It was flanked on the first floor of an old village house that I bought two years ago. The kind of love that little place, with exposed beams, old stones, creaky floors, exposed timbers rotten and noisy. In the homes of generations of people were born there, lived there, had died.

This cupboard therefore, not as old as the house but almost sat on the first floor of two rooms. It was built in the walls. It was the work of a carpenter who had certainly responded to the command of a former owner. Large and large wooden doors stood up to the ceiling. All were equipped with a lock on the old sliding, rusty and mostly equipped with a trigger. There were six doors in total, three lower and three cabinet level. One of them, the lower level, no longer opens.

It is annoying that a closet door does not open. It always manages time through those open but it eventually became annoying. So one day, commissioned by my sweet that no longer tolerated this defect, I start to repair. Armed with a large screwdriver and a hammer, I rush into the cabinet and I slap on the seal, more seized than other locks. This is enough to slide to unlock the system. Inside the trigger I guess an old stubborn spring and certainly crashed. I then gently tap a little harder and at the end, as per .... lock does not move, I go with a good heart. But nothing, it does not, it stuck, I just might break so I quit. I then try to turn the four screws holding the damn lock, but they are so old that their rusty head fall to pieces when I force with my screwdriver.

No, really, it's not worth it. The door will remain locked, we will say. My reputation is handyman Sunday denied this and failed miserably to me is the sarcasm of my girlfriend.

And we forget for months that damned closet door ...

One morning I got up, I descend the stairs slowly, a little "radar" and I found my girl, also standing, as if frozen in front of our wooden cupboard. A door is open, one. One whose lock rotten, rotten to the screws, I had finally refused access. It is open to ten centimeters, and we see a little of all the nonsense that accumulates in closets. It is open ... We do not believe our eyes. Not only loosens the lock seems, but the trigger was more remote and the door opened into the night.

Conclusion of my dear and loving "home is ambruxée ! is Catalan, it means "bewitched."

I do not believe, but I did not find an explanation that really takes the road.

Tommy snow.

When the heads in the air trying to win the crown, it may there be the case ...
In my very first beginnings as an educator, I worked weekends and vacations on one of many groups of teenagers I work for the Foyer.

Sometimes we went for a walk here and there on the mountain for example. I worked (as now) with youth placed for various reasons, under the Protection of Children. Some times were unaccompanied minors, who illegally left their country of origin to live in France or go to the UK, Italy, Spain, etc.. One day came a young Nigerian. We will call Tommy. The police and air borders that we had brought. Undocumented, Tommy had said to be minor. The minor in question was a colossus of a meter ninety pretending to be sixteen years but who seemed twenty. Regardless, it was placed, we would welcome it as another.

Tommy arrives with the set at night, accompanied by the PAF. He spoke English most of Nigeria a dialect of his home. With the young it was literally a culture shock. It seems he had survived a bloody civil war and according to him his parents had died in the conflict. But he did not address this topic. Tommy mixed Christianity and animism. He saw a spirit in everything, talking to trees, which at first we surprised to see us uneasy. It was still nice and respectful. Just "weird" to some minds that did not bother to consider the cultural gap that separated us from him.

the morning of his first day at home, we had long planned a walk in the mountains, I say "walk" and not "walking". The picnic was in order, we went for a walk, breathe fresh air, spend the day then go home. We were in May and there was some snow on the surrounding peaks. Tommy, our little trip took a little more interest since the great Niger had never seen snow.

So here we are left with a fellow athlete and six or seven youths for a ride to the mountain. Tommy had come home with unique clothing as a yellow T-shirt, jeans, flip-flops. Arrived at their destination the day promised to be beautiful. The teens were pretty cool, it was beautiful, the scenery was superb. The snow had melted.

Small walk along the trail so to cows. Tommy was before. He was on another planet. No snow-capped or green meadows in the region of origin We were sometimes short breaks but Tommy was always a little aloof. He walked in front ... The road was turning, then two and a third Tommy had disappeared.

It has took two minutes to account for its absence. It releases the pitch (he was tall, he was perhaps ahead!). We call it, we seek nothing. Missing our Nigerian. And not really in a good spot. He might be illegal, perhaps he sought to flee but still, at that point he put his life in danger, especially as the afternoon was well advanced.

We are therefore looking for a good half-hour before we resolve to call police.

And then ... off on the side of a mountain, a yellow dot. This is Tommy, he is at least two kilometers, we see hardly. Obviously he climbs the slope and seems attracted by the snow. There were a few snowfields on the peaks that had weathered the first heat. We would have had to

expected, Tommy had seen snow on the peaks several kilometers and a furious and irresistible urge to go put his feet in the powder had invaded. He climbed and climbed again. The slope was steep and vision of this great black thongs in plotting its course to touch the Grail was completely surreal.

My colleague, a hiker and mountain home party at a run to catch him. Tommy touched the snow well, not quite as he hoped but he succeeded. No powder, just a sheet of hard ice and dirty.

On his return he was barefoot. His flip flops did not survive the ascent. His feet were literally bleeding the plant notched on all sides by blades as knives. He suffered but he succeeded. It was like that Tommy, this great Nigerian, who arrived in the bilge of a ship for days or hidden under a truck. Nothing could stop him, and certainly not a few miles from rocky slopes to be able to touch the snow. He was a dreamer, a head in the air.
