Dude, I'm REAL sorry it took so long to approve this comment (which was awesome BTW). It got buried in my spam folder. No idea how as I usually get all my Disqus comments sent to my Inbox. My sincerest apologies.

Laughed out loud at lactation consultant...

I vote for a consultant. I think that is code for work when someone wants to pay you for your opinion. I want that gig too.

I will definitely let you know. I'm trying to start a cult but I'm not sure how to get it started.

LOL...I wouldn't make the mistake of using me as a paradigm of normalcy. That would be a HUGE mistake! But your comment is HILARIOUS! We really do sound a lot alike. I just recently started working out at the gym after a very extensive hiatus. Cam-porn, eh? Let me know if that works out. I'm open to using my sausage to bring home the bacon :)

Dude,

If you get ANY of those jobs, please let me know. I have a (totally crappy) job and I am actively searching for something that is both lucrative and fun. I may not have the personality of a cult leader, but I'm willing to give it a shot...

Finally! I'm NORMAL! I'm 38, stay-at-home dad of two, depending on my wife's income, trying to figure out if this means I have to be her bitch or not. (only when it's fun)... And, now I find out that the average stay-at-home dad is 38 and doesn't want his kid(s) to have to go to daycare. Well, that's been my major argument! Finally, I'm normal at something... So, now what do I do with all my testosterone?!? I go to the gym, get all kinds of naughty thoughts about the chicks in spandex, and ultimately stay loyal and keep my wife very satisfied (so she says :). But, what happened to my Harem idea? And how can I bring in some extra money? I thought about being a CAM-PORN dude, but who the hell wants to pay to see my middle-aged male body? (If you do, contact me, I need the money!)
Anyway, here's to us, the balzy men of the world who actually care about the future of their kids.

LOL! Yes, it is strangely alluring, isn't it?

Lactation consultant. Nice. After the onset of our first and only child (so far) I was shocked to find out there such a thing!! They were coming in and feeling on my wifes boobs. I was weirded out by the whole thing yet strangely "intrigued".

You're right...cult leader and actor are basically the same profession. I'm thinking being a cult leader would be cool but minus the ignominious ending.

I'm going with cult leader or Actor (which are surprisingly similar it seems). I've always thought I would make an excellent actor (not of the porn variety -- well, I guess that's not really acting, is it). You? I don't know you, but I'm sure you'd be wonderful at any of these super exciting professions. :-)

Yea, I was afraid the Oprah retirement was too good to be true. What qualifies someone to be a life coach?

LOL! I think you're right!

Hysterical!!! I think there are places on the net where you can be both a "pro" wrestler and a porn star....

Thanks, bro! Same goes for me. I hit the lottery and we've taking a private jet to all seven continents!

LOL! Exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself!

Instead of "stand up" comedy it will be "sit down" comedy. I think you're on to something here, SM!

WM, that's issue is pending litigation so I'm not at liberty to discuss it. Alright, you take over for Oprah but I'll be your sidekick.

Okay, I want to know why were you stalking lactation support groups. For the record, I plan on taking over after Oprah, so you can cross that option off your list.

How about Internet comedian? All you need is a Web cam and your sense of humor. Oh yeah, and some way to cash in, but I'm sure you'd figure it out. :D

(I know it's been awhile, but I was on a self-imposed hiatus.)

Well, congrats, my man! Way to join the proud ranks of SAHDs everywhere. Yea, my friends deal me the same grief but I can usually minimize it by preemptively making fun of myself. If that doesn't work, I just tell them I can still beat the shit out of them. That usually shuts them up.

I've been a SAHD for the past 6 months, I took the role of homemaker after my wife went back to work. I have a 7 year old boy and a 15 month old girl. The people that have hassled me the most about my new career are my male friends. I know that they mean no serious harm but the little digs that fly my way about "wearing a skirt" and "pleasing my husband" do sting a little. I figure that they are just not ready to see one of their peers fall into a role reversal. Diaper changes, vacuuming, meal preperations, showering, school runs, school lunches, when do I get to mow my lawn??
