How Many Men Here?

[Michael]

Wow Michael, that he does..programming is where it is at and if someone can program, they can make good money doing it! He will have a nice job waiting on him with that kind of love for something.

Thanks, he is now in his 1st year of College. JPL is looking at offering him a job. He is a 4.0 and way smarter then me.

Welcome, Icaredaycare! It'll be great to hear the male side of things more often! Temper some of our female emotions running all over the board!

Welcome to the board! My DH helps me a lot and enjoys hearing about some of the crazy stuff that gets posted here, although he never posts.

Welcome to the boards!

My husband, although he loves all of these kids, avoids this house like the plague. ::

He usually strolls in as the last kiddo leaves, and I'm starting to think he plans it that way.

computer programming? My son love's programming. Since 9 he has been going to book stores and only wants computer programming books. I wish I could find the interest in it to get into his world but I just don't find it as interesting as he does. He lives for programming. I told him he owns the keys to the future.

my ds is 9 too and we call him the "computer junkie or computer freak" he has gone as far as making his own app for the ipod. What kind of books are there, my ds would love it. He tells me that he's going to work for nintendo one day and build their software. He's scary sometimes because he knows so much about computers.

My hubby is in the military and works full time but is my substitute when I need him. This is not his dream job, like it is mine, but the kids ABSOLUTELY, love him. I think its because he is all play all the time and no rules. While with me we play alot but always within the rules! LOL. After all these years I am surprised his knees are still holding up after all the times he has crawled around on the floor with kids jumping and hanging on him. I think it has been good for him to gain an appreciation for all that goes into this job. In 4 more years he will retire from the military and he has mentioned us opening up something bigger with us being partners. It will be a little less pressure financially cause he will have his military retirement and insurance, but I am not sure I could have a co-boss! LOL. Welcome!

My son tells me all the time that there are two kinds of people in the world: Those that can read binary code and those that can't.

Thankfully, mine can. I also believe it is the key to the future.

Welcome icaredaycare!
I could seriously use a guy assistant right now as for some crazy reason I have ended up with all BOYS! 6 of them everyday!!!!

[TGPII]

Hey all, I have been reading this forum for about a week now, and i'm so glad I found it. I was just curious, how many men are on this forum? I was reluctant at first to register, because i didn't want to feel like an odd ball as the only man who owns an in-home daycare.

I already tried to do a search, but nothing came up.

anyway...hello, and thanks for letting me join!

I am male. I have worked with some poor male and female teachers. I have all the same state/local requirements as everyone else. We all put our pants on the same.
