I’M OFFICIALLY A MEMBER of a club I never expected to join—the Daddy Club. Once you’re in, well-meaning friends and family begin to tell you what you should be doing to make your child happier, a better eater, more responsible with chores, and smarter because you’re supposed to provide educational toys, software, and outings for your child. Ironically, it’s a club where men like my father brag about what a great dad they are because they made hamburgers one night or they took the kids to the science museum and watched them run around for hours. When I remind him that his daughter, Greer, does this daily for her kids and manages a career while they’re at school, he clams up.

It’s easy to be an uncle and show up for the fun times, but the day-to-day work involved in parenting eludes me, scares me. I’ve never dreamed of having it, but Finn makes me desire it.

His permanent life is with Harmony, in her home, but I do want more than the occasional outing with him. I want to be a part of his routine, even if it means I only get a few hours on the weekends. I want the phone calls, the texts, and dinners together. When I brought this up with Harmony in the morning before she and Finn left my home, she surprised me with her generosity.

“Let’s start with Saturdays. If you can adjust your schedule a bit so you’re not out all night, you can have him then.”

Her words showered down on me like I’d won the lottery. Alter my nighttime work hours for that kid? Hell, I’m the boss. I’ll do anything to have more time with him.

When I arrived at work the next day, I did the unthinkable. I removed myself from our busiest night, the Saturday shift. Bash agreed to run both the dining room and kitchen since we have the most employees on staff during that time. Plus, both Greer and I live only minutes from the restaurant, so one of us can help if there’s an emergency.

And then I got busy making lists.

Food. Kids need food in the house at all times.

Bedroom for Finn. Other than action figures, books, and games, what do boys need in their bedrooms?

When Talia arrived, I showed her my list and she laughed. “I’ll help you with his room. We’ll do a little shopping.”

I loved the sound of that. More time with Talia and more time with Finn.

She pushed me away so she could cook.

I stared at my three-item list for the rest of the day until Finn got home from school and I could call him.

It was one of the most exhilarating weeks for me, the prospect of my son coming to stay with me without Harmony and being with Talia every day and night.

In between work, we squeezed in morning and night runs to Target and the outlet mall to buy bedding, games, and groceries. We settled on a light purple paint. Talia said it matched Finn’s favorite T-shirt from one of the photos in the album.
