Stress only fathers understand

Location: A hotel located somewhere in Illinois

The stress for a father related to staying with your family in a hotel room is incomprehensible to anyone but a father. Nobody else but a father understands it.

Your child decides to pour water from a liter bottle into a cup. Before fatherhood, this would be funny. As a father, you think the hotel will jail you.

Baloons pop. Loud noise. Kids yell. A party in a hotel room? Don't people know that hotels are to sleep in, not to have fun in?

Oh no, the wife has burned herself on coffee. The kids yell attack.

I think I'm going home to relax. Dad, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
