#3 What's the world coming to when you can't hide from your family even on deployment in a war zone? Is it no longer enough to just show up for the conception? Is that not duty enough? What's next? Required conjugal cyber chat from the war zone? Whatever happened to stern, grim-faced, uninterested, disconnected, disciplinarian, never-home dads? Why in my day, I remember my boss deliberately dodging his family on the pier after a 75 day deployment so he could first visit the squadron repair officer, then get in 9 holes followed by happy hour/night at the club. I say bring back The Great Santini!

#7 This brings to the table what multi-tasking is all about. To be able to do your job, but also stay in tune with your family and your job as a parent don't you think? The only worry being not to expose your family placing them in danger. It's nice that if you want you can choose to bottom line.

#9 Jan. I have been an instafather for 2 months now. It is sooooo messy in the emotional sense. It has given me a whole new level of respect for mothers. Now I also understand why my old man loves golf. I can not wait to get back on the road.

#10 Zpaz,
hang in there and congrats to you too. Parenting is one of the most important jobs. They just grow up too fast. It's the "messy in the emotional sense" that make it all worth while.
