  • Men with Kids

    I always thought men with kids were sexy.  There's nothing more attractive than a tall, dark and handsome (or even a short, light and not-so-handsome) man delicately holding a child in his strong arms.  Men in their running strollers, men walking their toddler across the street, that hot kindergarten dad at open house - it's all glamor to me!

    Of course, being a parent, I know there are some things that aren't attractive about having a child in general - the colorful barf stain on his collared shirt, the screaming child failing in his arms, the sickly, snot nosed kid rubbing his green boogers onto his white shirt.  Yeah...not so attractive.  But back to my fantasy.

    When I'm not tired or annoyed at my husband and I see him playing with our beautiful son, I fall in love over and over again.  But even before our "cookie cutter" life, my heart gravitated toward the man holding a baby as it did for the man walking his puppy dog.  (I know, bad comparison.)

    Yesterday my friend John and I took my son to a pub (yes, a bar) where we dined on wings and fries during happy hour.  John was holding my son when two really pretty girls looked over at him with a smile on their faces and then gave me a cursory look, smirking and moving on.  On one hand, I was happy that my single friend was being checked out; on the other hand, I was upset that they probably assumed he was my husband.  The nerve of them not having the guts to ask! I wanted to yell at those girls to come back because John isn't the father of my child! (Ewwww.)

    To all you women out there, do you think men with children are sexy?  (And no, this question does not allude to "being the other woman".)
