I folded down ten pages in the gardener’s catalog, but I’ll recycle it without buying even one seed packet. I feel guilty every single time I buy something for myself.

A San Francisco stay-at-home dad getting the hang of things.
Doo's Do
I'm a stay-at home dad to our daughter Boo who's 2 and three quarters years old; our newbie Blueberry who's just 21 days old; Boo's imaginary friends; and my wife, Working Mom.
Yeah, I Twitter, don't laugh. Doodaddy's Twitter is here, and Boobaby also has one, here, for all the cute things she says and does.
Doo's Writing
I write a quarterly column for Bay Area Parent magazine.
I'm the San Francisco content editor for Savvy Source, a great parenting site with many local branches.
I blog every other Friday at GNM Parents.
Blogs I Love
My full list has its own page, but here's what I try to keep up with every day:

I know that guilt - the one that says ‘I don’t contribute financially to this household so it’s not really fair for me to spend money on stuff that isn’t strictly necessary’ - I’m learning though - and sometimes a little perk for the at home caregiver - be it seeds, a coffee, new clothes (although they do fall into the more than necessary category right now for me!) - are necessary

Exactly! I get so many perks just by being home that it’s hard to justify a hedge trimmer. Sigh.

I hope you didn’t spend money on that catalog…

Only in the sense that all Americans subsidize the corporatocracy by giving bulk mailers nearly free access to our postal system.
But no, it was a free catalog.

I think it is important to pamper yourself sometimes but I completely understand. I am becoming more and more frugal in my thinking and usually put my wants/needs aside for the kids.
What can we say………we are parents.
