Hi my name is Osiris and I'm the father of a 19-month old boy at the ripe age of 45. I'm currently a stay at home dad, which I find more fun and challenging then the jobs I've held working in schools as an administrator. When dealing with other people’s children you want to do things by the book but at the same time address the kids as if they were your own. The only difference is that they’re not yours and they don't live in your house. I loved my job and the kids I worked with but most importantly I respected them and their parents. And when it came time for me, my wife and I didn't know what to expect or really knew how to handle our new roles as parents. We've only been married going on 4 years but dated for about 6 years and pretty much lived a carefree relationship during our marriage. We had a great social life, lots of friends coming over for nightcaps, traveling in and out of the states either as a couple or individually. We would have to say life was good for us. But that all changed about 2 years ago when Aiden arrived. Our bundle of joy came into our lives and turned us upside down and inside out. It wasn't so much him and his presence as it was us trying to adjust to this new life we are about to live. So this is my life as a father in my 40's.

What was I thinking?
