Dads Strolling in Public

Originally from Queens, I'm still getting used to the BURBS and when it comes to walking the streets in the middle of the day while pushing a stroller two words come to mind "weird and unemployed and people think I'm gay and I'm the women role in the gay relationship that has to take the baby for a walk everyday".

I'm sure I'm being just paranoid like a lot of Daddy Yo's, who whould agree that strolling in public does feel a bit emasculating. It does take some time getting used too. After all, its not the weekend and its the middle of the day. I usually don't have a problem strolling in public on the weekends, because that's what Dads do, on the WEEKENDS; Not at 1pm on Thursday, so it's different!

I did pass some "stroller mommies" out on the same walk as team DaddyYO. We almost got roped into a conversation. For me, a conversation is anything more then two sentences of which I wish I wasn't speaking. Now when you pass a "Stroller Mommy" strolling the same street, when you pass them we remain firm and confident. We are the Jets, they are the sharks! We can still claim our manhood, without hanging our junk out. We are confident, we're unemployed we are proud to be a Daddy Yo.

It was beautiful day, I had a fantastic time chilling out with my son. I couldn't of asked for anything more and I'm thankful for the time I was able to spend with him. I'm looking forward to our next walk.

Stroll on Daddy Yo's, stroll away!
