We have decided to take the risk ( can you really ?) and get a nanny because the wify is going CRAZY

With our 1st one I was a stay home dad and in our case that was the only solution since we came here

because her parents were dying ( thinking about it I never mentioned it ) and for her to be with them

that was the only way. with the sadness and the surreal situation we were at, there was also a lot

of joy from being able to take such a major part in my 1st one’s life.

With my 2nd, things became "NORMAL". I'm at work and she is home and we are playing the chauvinist
act of the husband out of the house and the wife is home and most (i have to admit) of the burden is falling o

on her. So we decided to take a Nanny. We almost saw 5 other nannies but every time something else came up.

She came today (after wify interviewed her and said that she is great - as much as one can see).

She is warm, and kind of the "MAMA" type. I was holding my little one when she came and as amazing as she is

she smiled at her and didn't cry when we "switched". I'm at work and wify is working at home ( the freedom

of being a self employed designer) - Should I put a camera ?

Should I let nature run it’s natural course and give 98% trust ?

Is it ok to use a Nanny ? we didn't use with our 1st one.

Even though I'm trying to not to listen - guilt is knocking at my gate.

we all say that we'll protect our loved ones with our body and soul.

That we will die for our kids and family.

James was a part of my gickiness and tech tv days - he truly was a special father, husband and a dad

Rest in Peace wherever you are

I just came back from the most amazing vacation -

I went with one of my best friends and his friends (we were 6 guys)

to learn how to ski in Vail, Colorado.

I will write about it later on but the absolute carrel thing happened before we boarded the plane.

We were supposed to fly at 00:26 but when we waited to board the plane, one of Frontier ground personal

announced that :"ladies and gentleman, there is going to be a delay because………… we can't find the pilot"

Well, it sure made me feel safe in their hands.

Then they said that there is going to be snack till the new pilot they had to wake up is going to show up

( it’s going to take 45-1:15 minutes - why ? because Denver airport is far away from the where the pilots live -

as if there is a pilot village somewhere)

I don't know what’s better -

telling us the truth or telling us there are some technical issues

and once they are solved will board the plane.

I waited because 3 weeks ago I was still in the honeymoon period and I wanted to see if it works,

if outside the ivy tower, the perspective is life changing and not just another used dogma to me.

And it works amazingly. What the fuck is he talking about? 4 months ago a friend of mine from

Israel came to visit. He asked me if I heard about the landmark forum. I heard something but

I didn’t know anyone who did it. He did and it changed his life completely. He is a serious guy my friend.

Not one who will go to therapy but if he sees prove of theory; he might try it - especially if it did well.

They don’t advertise because people will never come if they’ll tell then what the weekend can do for them.

If you think that you are open minded see your response to the following "AD" -

"for only $500 you can have endless possibilities in your life" -

would you go to something like that?

I know I wouldn’t. Why did I go?

Because I’m not afraid of the unknown

Because I want to live everyday to its fullest

Because I want to be a better person better dad better friend and husband

Because I love life

I know I sound like a cult/brainwash poster boy but the feeling inside is something I cannot argue with.

What is it? It’s a new way to look at life. It has a bit of Buddhism, Taoism, Pacifism and a lot of love

to human beings wherever and who ever they are. 120 people sitting in one room and share

themselves (if they want to) to the bone. If you listen to the pain and close your eyes, you’ll hear

a group of 3-5 years old kids that express pain, anger, disappointment, love, jealousy

and a lot of emotions,

towards themselves and their parents. We let an angry 5 year old to run every decision in our life.

We let the past dictate our future and acting like crazy by trying to change ourselves, because you can’t.

A change as you know it is not possible because every change has the layers of the past, and until we

get rid of the past we can’t have a real clean future filled with endless possibilities. I’ll gives you an example

from my life. I grew up in a very small place. When I was in 3rd grade, new kids came to our school.

I came all exited telling my dad that I have new friends. My dad said that “there are friends and there Are friends” –

I heard – “there is no such things as friends”. Ever since then every time I encountered an unsuccessful

social event were I found my self at a tight spot, or not in my comfort zone – I accused him and what he told me.

I have put myself in situations When failure was the only option and I accused him instead of taking responsibility.

Now, I can see you there nodding and saying “Daaaa, you needed a brainwash, cult, peer pressure

to know all of that ?” well I don’t think so. I think it was the right timing for being open, because

you always win the game you play.

More to come

Four years ago my life changed. From being a me me me person I have started to evolve into being a father.

You bring the good in me. One of the psychologists I went to told me that I’m raising little me.

You are much much better.

You are smart, funny, sharp, good soul, opinionated, stubborn, loving, incredible big sister,

cuddling, giving, warm, and amazing little girl.

I love your little rebellious soul that at times can drive me crazy. For the last 4 years,

you have become my favorite topic conversation. Looking at how much you have grown makes me proud

and sad at the same time. Proud because of whom you are, and sad because you grow so fast and soon:

- I wouldn’t brush your teeth (and fight with u about it)

- you will not call me to wipe your butt

- you will learn to be by yourself

- you will close the door (now it’s cute)

And much more that can’t even imagine.

I want to thank you for:

- being my amazing daughter

- putting things at prospective

- being my safe haven

- letting me take endless pics of you

- teaching me how to look and get life

it really is a hard job Yesterday I stayed home.

It’s not the first time I work from home but yesterday it was more about taking care

of our 4 months old then it was about work. Wify needed some time for her self to

charge batteries. Living in a foreign country made us face reality that we are the only

one who are there to help us. Most of our friends are in the same situation.

I have to admit that it’s hard. Harder then I thought. She needs attention, affection,

talking to her, hugging, amusing, loving and I thought I am all that but yesterday

I realized how hard it is to keep it all day long and not only for the 2 hours I see her

everyday when I come from work and give her bath while talking to my 1st one,

while trying to do the impossible and give them my full attention. Of course I did just that.

I was only able to do just that. No cleaning, no laundry, no errands. Of course when I come

home from work - its clean, organized, food is ready, laundry is in the process and more

and more, so glory halleluiah to my amazing wife

and kudos to all of the stay

home mums (and dads).

I'm at my work then the wify calls and said that she can't wait and she has to tell me what

happened today at the daycare.

My 1st one which is almost 4 has been wearing the same (not everyday) pants.

It’s by Juicy, and on the back of the pants AKA her ass it say "Juicy"

The headmaster came in today to her class and told her teacher to take it off my girl

and to put her other pants.

WHAT THE FUCK ? HOW CRAZY IS THIS COUNTRY ?

of course no explain to my 1st one what happend, only now she thinks that something is wrong

with her, that she did something wrong.

Of course I called her and didn't get her reaction yet but when I do …..

I wonder what she is going to say in her defence, because I was thinking to tell her

that I want her to check every kid’s clothes label, if it was made in Germany to take it off because

I'm offended as a Jew.

CRAZY HA ?

She is doing much much better.

We went to our doctor and she said that her lunges were flooded with phlegm,

and that was what prevented her from sleeping or breathing well. Since yesterday we have been using

inhaling machine enabling her to breath much better and it works.

it breakes your heart seeing your child so helpless.

Thank you all for the advices. I think we'll keep on with the shower/sauna.
