I'm a stay-at-home dad!

It's more work than I ever thought it would be, really!
说真的,家里的活比我想像的可多多啦!
But I'm doing my utmost to do it well!

Now I have to do the cooking, do the dishes, do the kitchen, keep the house clean,all that stuff.

I'm still not good at doing the laundry though; my wife does that in the evening.
但我还是不太会洗衣服,这事由我妻子晚上去做。
But it's not as if she was doing me a favor!
不过她洗衣服不像是帮我的忙!
It's because I don't do well with the washing machine and she doesn't want me to wreck her clothes.
因为我不会用洗衣机,而她不想让我毁坏她的衣服。
She tried to teach me how to do the trick,but I always did something wrong when I did the washing.

I just go out as I am.
我平时什么样,出去还是什么样。
But it does me some good each day to get some fresh air.

I think staying at home all day, every day would do to death of me!
我认为整天待在家里、每天待在家里会烦死我的!
But I really like being around my kids more.

I don't know what to do with them sometimes, but we always figure something out.

And they love it!

I think it does them proud to see their dad finally spending so much time at home and with them.

Now if I am to do it over, that will be fine by me.
如果让我再做一遍,我也会很愿意的。
Just so long as it isn't always this way!
只要不让我永远这样!
