A Mother’s Job Description And Mother’s Day Message From Kid President

(Be sure to watch the Mother’s Day video from Kid President at the end of this post!)

This site may be named “Noah’s Dad,” but make no mistake about it, Noah’s mom keeps our house together! I could not ask for a more loving, kind, selfless wife and mommy to our son than my wife. I am so proud to live life with her. She makes my world 1,000,000 times more epic.

Thank you Abbie (aka Noah’s Mom) for all that you do. You are appreciated and loved more than I could ever tell you!

To All The Mom’s Out There: Thanks For Giving Up Your $138,095 A Year!

To all the mom’s out there, please know that what you do is important. I know there are days when you feel unappreciated and underpaid (by the way, did you know if mom’s were paid for the work they do the annual salary would be $138,095…! I wonder how many hugs that equates to?) but please don’t stop being a mom.

Your little ones need you. You are shaping the future of our world. You are literally changing the world one dirty diaper at a time. Please don’t let it bother you to much when your child doesn’t appreciate all you do for them right now, one day they will. Trust me. Keep fighting the good fight, and know that you are a hero in the truest sense!

A Mom’s Job Description

Speaking of a mom’s salary, I found this fun job description of a “mom.” So moms, the next time someone asks you what you do, simply forward this to them and smile. 

POSITION: Mother, Mom, Mama

JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment.

Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.

Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES: The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5.

Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.

Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.

Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.

Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.

Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.

Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION: Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.

When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.

MOM Turned Upside Down Is WOW!

If you don’t know who Kid President is you should…because he is awesome! Take a few minutes to check out this mother’s message from Kid President…it is great! (Warning: grab a tissue first.)

To all the mom’s out there, thank you for being you. This year I want to encourage you to not try to hard to be a perfect mom (there are none) just be the mom who God created you to be and roll with it! You are a hero! And your named turned upside down is WOW! LOL……!

Hi, I'm Noah's Dad and I'm passionate about giving the world a window into our life as we raise our son who was born with Down syndrome. I also enjoy connecting with other families, so let's stay connected.

  • I'm Williams dad. William is ten months old has an extra 21st chromosome, an older brother and sister and a remarkable mom. I am so greatful for my wife kate and all she does for him. He's had two heart surgeries, a hospital stay for meningitus and three stays for lung issues but he is now doing great. I'd like too think I had something to do with this but it really is his amazing mom.

  • Are you aware that on June 4th congress is going to vote on a UN treaty on the rights with children with disabilities, that if it passes will void our rights as parents to make decisions we think are in the best interest of our children in every area, education, medical treatment, etc.? This treaty will give bureaucrats the power to decide what is in the best interest of a child with disabilities not the child's parents. Please look into this, call your senators and ask them to oppose the UN Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities and get the word out on your blog and Facebook. Congress switchboard is 202-224-3121.Your Texas senators are Cornym and Cruz. If you would like to read about this for yourself, here are a couple of links:

    Thank you.

  • Please ask your senators to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on or before June 3rd. This treaty will give bureaucrats the power to decide what is in the best interests of children with disabilities, not the child's parents. What the UN has learned is patience - they came in strong with some of their early proposals and people rejected it because it scared them. So they've learned - introduce these things slowly and make it sound like it will be a benefit - or capitalize on a tragic event and say that it is for our protection etc - we happily give up our rights because we've been convinced it's in our best interest. We need to act FAST because the 4th is right around the corner. Take the time to learn about the UN and all of its agendas and proposals, for example, Agenda 21. It's scary, but we still have enough freedom to go through our government and stop this madness! If this passes, then the next step is then they try to pass the UN Rights of the Child, meaning all children, to void all parents rightsto even their typical children so that the UN is in complete control of all decisions made regarding our children. Call your senators now, on or before the 3rd, they vote on the 4th, and tell them to vote no, to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Person's With Disabilities. And post this on your Facebook wall. Copy and paste my words before you click share on your timeline. The number on Capitol Hill is 202-224-3121. And please share this on your blog as well right away while there's still time. You have a lot of readers. If they knew about this, I am sure they would want to call. If you post it right away, they will still have time to post on their media sites and urge others to call. Here is a link to read about it: http://voices.yahoo.com/un-treaty-voids-parental-rights-special-needs-children-11566904.html?cat=25 Thank you.

  • Allowing filters and cooling coils to become clogged from
    dirt could make the unit work inefficiently, and the interior compressor or
    fans are prone to fail early.

  • Hi I’m a mum of 2 beautiful girls ages 13 & 6 with pan colonic dysmotility which means their bowels don’t work the eldest has asd and youngest is going through assessment although is showing traits of both asd and adhd. Thank you for this post it gave me a laugh. I always heard job description of a mum is cook cleaner dr nurse teacher politician peace keeper taxi driver banker care assistant fitness instructor play analyst and to top it off if there are any pets vet. No perks but payment in hugs kisses and smiles for life
