At-Home Dad Who Can Really Clean Up for His Valentine

February 13, 2017 by David Kepley

You could always buy a Valentine card at the drugstore for your spouse, but that’s so impersonal.

I am a stay-at-home dad of two young boys. My wife is a flight attendant and leaves me on my own with our boys for days at a time while she travels the friendly skies. My boys and I greatly appreciate the sacrifice she makes every time she goes to work, so that we can have a parent at home with our children.

This Valentine’s Day, my wife will be working in the morning, but will be able to make it home for a special dinner with me. I want to do something special for my Valentine and do something to make the day go a little quicker until she arrived back home. Since my wife loves two things — humor and cleanliness — along with me and the kids, I decided to combine those two favorites into this special digital Valentine in hopes of enticing her into a frenzy before she arrives home.
