When it comes to parenting, my partner and I are like a classic duo—think country music vs. rock ‘n’ roll. I’m the one who’s all about life lessons and structure, while he dives headfirst into the fun with our kids. Trust me, it’s not by choice; we both have a tendency to go with the flow. But when our first child arrived six weeks early, I had to step up and take on the responsible role. Over time, I’ve become the “fun sponge,” while he’s mastered the art of being the “fun dad.” And let me tell you, he’s truly great at it!

Here are five ways my partner is far more entertaining than I am:

  1. Fun Food Choices
    While I’d be content living on a diet of Skittles and Diet Coke, I try to encourage my kids to eat healthier options like fruits and veggies. My partner, on the other hand, promotes a meal plan that resembles what you’d find at a carnival: popcorn, corndogs, and funnel cakes. I can’t really fault him for it, but when I picture dinner, he’s thinking more along the lines of “Low-Fat Hot Pocket and gummy bears.”
  2. Dress Code? What Dress Code?
    Neither of us is too picky about our kids’ outfits, but my partner is definitely more relaxed. There was that time our son forgot to wear shoes to a hockey game—no big deal, right? And let’s not forget the day I came home to find our baby daughter wearing her swimsuit backwards, looking like she was ready for a wild party. Girls Gone Wild at just 10 months old? Probably not the best move.
  3. Learning with a Twist
    I lean towards traditional education, focusing on books and homework, while my partner emphasizes real-life skills, often through hilarious “epic fail” videos on YouTube. I get it; these lessons can be valuable. After all, you never know when your kid might need to roller skate down a flight of stairs! We’re aiming for a balance somewhere between Bill Gates and Johnny Knoxville—who doesn’t want to hang out with a savvy businessperson who occasionally wants to fire themselves out of a cannon?
  4. Weekend Adventures
    On weekends, I suggest relaxing family activities like bike rides or walks and get crickets in response. But when my partner proposes a jam-packed day at the zoo, museums, rock climbing, and maybe even deep-sea fishing, suddenly everyone is on board. His approach to parenting seems to be that you should always be on the move—like swimming, you have to keep going or you might sink. So far, nobody has ended up in the emergency room from exhaustion…yet.
  5. Bedtime Antics
    For me, bedtime is all about winding down—think quiet PJs, tooth brushing, and reading. Cue the sad trombone music. When I say “bedtime,” my partner hears “Let’s wrestle!” or “How many times can we bounce this soccer ball off the ceiling fan?” It’s like he believes every day is an adventure!

Does it bother me that I’m not the fun one and that I’m often the one enforcing the rules? Nah. As much as it can be frustrating, his carefree attitude serves as a reminder that it’s okay to loosen up and step away from the daily grind of parenting. Sometimes it feels great to put down the laundry basket, grab a corndog, and take a breather. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even try roller skating down a flight of stairs—just as soon as the kids finish their homework and eat their broccoli.

In conclusion, while I might be the responsible one at home, my partner’s fun-loving spirit adds an incredible balance to our family life.
