There are a few responsibilities and that come with being a dad that I love, wrestling, playing catch, cuddling, teasing my kids, you know the fun stuff. But there are some responsibilities and titles that come with being a parent I could do without and would rather outsource such as Waste Management.
As in previous posts I have expressed my disdain for bio waste. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if similar to trash pick-up, you could pay a reasonable monthly fee to have someone come in and clean up for you every time your child came to you in the middle of the night and said, "Dad, I made a mess and I need your help." or you get a call form your wife who says, " I was waiting to pick up #1 and #2 from school and #3 puked all over the truck, and I had to take care of #4, and I can't handle the smell, and you need to clean it up when you get home in seven hours..."
I should be proud of #2 and #3 who tried (on separate occasions within 2 weeks of each other), without waking me, to clean up their "accidents" in the middle of the night. The reality is the "waste" usually results in a few more spots on the floor to clean up, a handful of the "nice guest" towels getting improperly used (sorry guests, I'll let you be the judge of the effectiveness of our new washer and dryer) and inevitably a clogged toilet, and a "surprise" that was missed in the attempt to keep it quiet and dark for the rest of the family.
I believe I would most definitely even pay an unreasonable monthly fee for such a service.
Okay, for real, I am crying from laughter. Potty training my only child gives me the frights. Thanks for confirming my worst nightmares.

Nice Post, The current waste management system needs to be evolved according to the new emerging challenges. With more and more electronic waste now in the households we definitely need a new strategy to handle such challenges.
