Sounds like just reward for many years hard work :!:
I'm a dad. You get some funny looks when you put that on forms , but home duties doesn't feel right.
My wife is the career orientated one around here, so i look after our 3 little ones, 4 1/2, nearly 3 and 10 weeks. Full on, frustrating but i wouldn't swap it for anything.
Except on the bad days when i would swap for just about anything.

I'm the (cough) IT Manager/Team Leader (if I can use that) for the largest Malt manufacturer in Australia as well as part of one of the largest Agribusiness in Australia (there are only three and AWB is NOT one of them). We supply malt to the best brewers in Oz as well as many brewers though the Asia region (Carlsberg Group, Asahi, Marubeni Sapporo, Khon Karn, etc...).

Been doing it for almost 6 years now, before that I managed a number of plumbing supply outlets for various merchants in Sydney and Wollongong.
Before that I grew sheep,cattle and grain in central west NSW.
Used to drive an International Scout around the farm as a youngster.
