以至于每天我下班回家
00:54

42910
1762
我老婆都会问我同样的问题。
00:56
and my wife妻子 would ask me
the same相同 question.
19
44696
2515
00:59

2507
这就是任何人都会问的
最糟糕的问题。
她说,“嗨,宝贝,
今天过的怎么样?”
01:03
She'd say, "Hey babe孩儿, how was your day?"
22
51323
2960
01:06
(Laughter笑声)
23
54307
1738

68
155252
3301
02:50

我看着镜子里的自己,说……
03:00
I looked看着 at myself
in the mirror镜子, and I said ...
73
168490
3293
“你能打电话给谁
来一个电话炸弹威胁呢?
03:03
"Which哪一个 friend朋友 can you call
to call in a bomb炸弹 threat威胁?
74
171807
2495
03:06
We've我们已经 got to get out of here."

1453
我们必须走出困境。“
03:07
(Laughter笑声)
76
175803
2115
(笑声)
03:09
See, I had traded交易 my manager经理
for my children孩子.
77
177942
3207
看见了吧,我把我的领导
变成了我的小孩。
我真不知道我为啥这样。
03:13
I didn't know what I got myself into.
78
181173
1799
03:14
I thought I knew知道 everything
about being存在 a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent,
79
182996
3382
我以为我懂得怎么做全职奶爸,
实际上,我一无所知。
03:18
and in fact事实, I knew知道 nothing at all.
80
186402
2066
03:21
Because even though虽然 my manager经理 was --
81
189099
2683
因为,即使我的领导 --
当然,至少我的孩子们
比领导可爱多了,
03:23
well, at least最小 my children孩子
were a lot cuter可爱 than my manager经理,
82
191806
3341
03:27
they were just as demanding严格.
83
195171
1937
他们都会一直提要求。
03:29

我到底给自己惹了什么麻烦?
03:45
GHGH: What had I gotten得到 myself into?
89
213744
2159
03:47
I thought I knew知道 everything
about being存在 a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent --
90
215927
3000
我以为我已经懂了
怎么做一个全职父母 --
03:50
in fact事实, I knew知道 nothing.
91
218951
1199
实际上,一无所知。
我以为只要喂饱他们,
03:52
I thought that all I had to do
was feed饲料 them,
92
220174
2476
换好尿布,他们就会好好的。
03:54
change更改 their diapers尿布, and they'd他们会 be fine.
93
222674
2126
真的,我就是这么想的。
03:56
Like, I really thought that's it.
94
224824
2572
03:59
"Sesame芝麻 Street" on TV电视,
keep them distracted分心,
95
227420
2643
放个电视节目“芝麻街”
让他们分散注意力,
一碗苹果酱,一瓶牛奶,
他们就会好好的。
04:02
apple苹果 sauce in a bowl,
milk牛奶 in a bottle瓶子, they'd他们会 be fine.
96
230087
2943
04:05
But if you leave离开 children孩子 alone单独,
97
233054
2151
但是当你把他们单独留着,
他们就会开始瞎胡闹。
04:07
they'll他们会 get into
just a little bit of mischief恶作剧.
98
235229
2389
04:09
(Video视频) Child儿童: Hi你好.
99
237642
1820
(视频)小孩:HI.
04:12
GHGH: Where is the powder粉末?

240951
1600
GH:爽身粉呢?
04:15
Child儿童: I don't know.
101
243403
1682
小孩:不知道。
04:17
GHGH: Well, where did you put it,
where did it --
102
245109
3485
GH: 说吧,把它放哪儿了,
04:21
Who did it?
103
249187
1176
谁干的?
小孩1:不,你干的!
小孩2:不,你干的!
04:22
Child儿童 1: No, you did it!
Child儿童 2: No, you did it!
104
250387
2912
04:25
Child儿童 1: No, you did it!
Child儿童 2: No, you did it!
105
253323

小孩1:不,你干的!
小孩2:不,你干的!
04:28
(Laughter笑声)
106
256387
2127
(笑声)
04:30
GHGH: You know what else其他 I thought I knew知道
about being存在 a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent?
107
258538
3611
你们知道还有哪些全职育儿的体验吗?
04:34
I thought that all I had to do
was take them to the park公园 once一旦 a week,
108
262173
3578
我以为只要每周
带他们去一次公园就行了。
因为只要每周去一次,
他们就会好好的。
04:37
because if I took them to the park公园
once一旦 a week, they'd他们会 be fine.
109
265775
3834
实际上,我一无所知。
04:41
In fact事实, I knew知道 nothing at all.
110
269633
1761
04:43
OK.
111
271720
1159
好吧。
如果你每天都带孩子去公园,
那就意味着他们每天都会弄的很脏。
04:44
If you take kids孩子 to park公园 every一切 day
then that means手段 they get dirty every一切 day.
112
272903
4111
如果他们每天都很脏的话,
那他们就需要天天洗澡,
04:49
If they got dirty every一切 day,
they need baths every一切 day,
113
277038
2611
如果他们每天都要洗澡 --
04:51
if they got baths every一切 day --
114
279673
2364
04:54
I just don't think you understand理解, see,
having two kids孩子 under two,
115
282061
3119
可能你们不理解,这么说,
带着两个两岁以内的小孩,
每天差不多要换20多次尿布,
04:57
you end结束 up changing改变
over 20 dirty diapers尿布 a day, OK.
116
285204
3909
如果你还要再给他们洗个澡,
他们几乎等于一直光着屁股。
05:01
And if you give them a bath,
that's just more nakedness.
117
289498
2976
(笑声)
05:04
(Laughter笑声)
118
292498
1301
而且很有可能被尿一脸,
05:05
And a higher更高 probability可能性
of getting得到 peed撒尿 on,
119
293823
2143
没人喜欢被尿到身上,
就算是小孩的尿。
05:07
and no one likes喜欢 getting得到 peed撒尿 on,
even if it's from a baby宝宝.
120
295990
2997
05:11
(Laughter笑声)
121
299011
1157
(笑声)
05:12
But I read this article文章 by Father父亲 Lee背风处
122
300192
2152
后来我读了一篇李神父的文章,
里面引用了一个调查问卷,
来自两个洗涤用品公司,Omo和Persil.
05:14
which哪一个 cites引用 a survey调查 doneDONE by two
detergent洗涤剂 companies公司, Omo奥妙 and Persil佩尔西勒.
123
302368
4325
05:18
And they did this study研究 and it said,
that at two hours小时 a day,
124
306717
2995
他们做了这个研究称,
囚犯每天放风呆在外面的时间
05:21
prisoners囚犯 get more
outside time than children孩子.
125
309736
2888
比小孩都要多两个小时。
05:25
That convicted被定罪 me and so we went outside.
126
313362
3349
看了这个之后,我给自己定个罪,
所以我就带孩子到外面。
05:28
(Video视频) (Music音乐)
127
316735
1150
(视频)(音乐)
05:38
(Laughter笑声)
128
326465
1657
(笑声)
所以说,我对做全职育儿一无所知,
05:41
GHGH: See, I knew知道 nothing
about being存在 a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent,
129
329077
2829
而一旦我接受了,一无所知这个事实,
05:43
and once一旦 I embraced拥抱 the fact事实
that I knew知道 nothing,
130
331930
2319
我开始从新的领导那里学习。
05:46
I began开始 to learn学习 from my new managers经理.
131
334273
1818
我总是被告知
05:48
And I always was told
132
336115
1197
做一个全职奶爸,
你连觉都没得睡。
05:49
that as a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent,
you get no sleep睡觉.
133
337336
3842
就算一般的父母,
你也不能睡个好觉。
05:53
Or as a parent in general一般,
you get no sleep睡觉.
134
341202
2081
但并不是那样,
因为你可以在他们睡着时候睡觉,
05:55
But that's not true真正,
because if you sleep睡觉 when they do,
135
343307
2889
所以你实际上还是能睡会的。
05:58
you actually其实 can get some sleep睡觉.
136
346220
1603
(笑声)
05:59
(Laughter笑声)
137
347847
1839
06:02
You know what else其他 I thought
as a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent?
138
350376
2825
你们知道还有啥全职奶爸的体会吗?
06:05
I though虽然 I knew知道 that the best最好 way
to teach kids孩子 right from wrong错误
139
353225
3238
我本以为教他们是非对错的最佳方式
06:08
was to discipline学科 them,
140
356487
1154
是给他们定规矩,
06:09
because that would make sure
they understood了解 right from wrong错误,
141
357665
2936
因为规矩可以让他们理解对错,
06:12
the pain疼痛, the fear恐惧 --
that would teach them.
142
360625
2055
知道疼了就会害怕 --
下次就老实了。
但真相是,教他们对错最好的办法
06:14
But the truth真相 is, the best最好 way to teach
my children孩子 right from wrong错误
143
362704
3675
06:18
is to teach them.
144
366403
1156
是去引导他们。
拿出小白板画一些图并且做连线游戏
06:19
Take out a whiteboard白板 and draw pictures图片
and make connections连接
145
367583
2826
06:22
that they can understand理解.
146
370433
1461
这样他们就明白了。
06:23
That was the best最好 way.
147
371918
1467
这是最好的方式。
06:26

And it's not perfect完善,
it's just showing展示 that I'm trying.
151
382173
3025
06:37
And I'm not trying to be an example
152
385222

我并不想要做一个模范
只是想证明其它人也可以做到。
06:38
but just proof证明 that it's possible可能
for whoever else其他 is doing this.

这就是爱你的孩子的最好方式。

07:04
So, I was learning学习 a lot,
161
412942
2707
所以,我学到了很多,
但带小孩不止是快乐和鼻涕,
不是吗?
07:07
but it's not all fun开玩笑 and boogers鼻 屎, is it?
162

1991
07:09
(Laughter笑声)
163
417688
2001
(笑声)
07:11
I asked a group of stay-at-home呆在家里 parents父母
what's the hardest最难 thing,
164
419713
3119
我问了一组全职父母
什么是最困难的部分,
哪些事情是他们低估了的,
07:14
the thing they underestimated低估 most
about being存在 stay-at-home呆在家里 parents父母,
165
422856
3221
他们说,孤单可能算其中的一个。
07:18
and they said that the loneliness孤单
was one of those things.
166
426101
2746
07:20
Not having someone有人 else其他 to talk to,
feeling感觉 inadequate不足,
167
428871
2627
没人可以聊天说话,
感觉自己不完整,
07:23
feeling感觉 selfish自私 for wanting希望 me-time我的时间.
168
431522
1928
对需要自我时间感到自私。
07:26
And nursery苗圃 rhymes童谣 suck吮吸.
169
434030
2039
还有儿童音乐听到吐。
07:28
(Laughter笑声)
170
436418
1397
(笑声)
07:29
Like, really, "Mary玛丽 Had a Little Lamb羊肉"
is cool the first couple一对 of times,
171
437839
3484
真的,比如“玛丽有只小羊羔”
开头听几遍还不错的,
但是这两年重复的放,
07:33
but after all these years年份 on repeat重复,
172
441347
2477
我就纳闷了,玛丽
为啥不给自己做一件羊毛衫
07:35
you wonder奇迹 why Mary玛丽
just ain't make herself她自己 a wool羊毛 skirt短裙
173
443848
2757
07:38
and have lamb羊肉 chops印章,
you know what I'm saying?
174
446629
2232
或者搞点小羊排啥的,
你们懂我说的把?
07:40
(Laughter笑声)
175
448885
1533
(笑声)
我最低估的一件事
就是情感疲劳。
07:42
The one thing I underestimated低估 most
was the emotional情绪化 fatigue疲劳.
176
450442
3095
07:45
See, I was an artist艺术家,
so I'd write songs歌曲 for other artists艺术家.
177
453561
3064
其实,我以前是个艺术家,
我给其它艺人写歌。
07:48
Because that's how I made制作 money from home.
178
456649
2942
这使我在家能赚钱养家。
07:51
But when you're with your kids孩子 all day,
you become成为 emotionally感情上 tired.
179
459615
3515
但是当你和孩子呆一整天,
你的情感会觉得很疲劳。
07:55
And that means手段 all your creativity创造力
comes from your emotions情绪,
180
463575
2898
就是你所有的创造力都来自于感情,
现在情感的龙头关了,你完了。
07:58
so you’re回覆 just tapped窃听 out, you're doneDONE.
181
466497
1992
08:00
So you become成为 doneDONE with time.
182

3054
你觉得被时间所困。
08:04
Nap午睡 time, time-tables时间表, time-out时间到,
time like to cook厨师,
183
472366
3033
瞌睡时间,时间表到时间了,
该是去煮饭的时间了,
你就是被各种时间所困。
08:07
with all types类型 of time, you're just doneDONE.
184
475423
2452
最终没有时间做出点啥来。
08:09
You had no time for anything.
185
477899
1571
有的人因为全职育儿
毁掉了夫妻关系。
08:11
And some people are doneDONE with their spouse伴侣
as a stay-at-home呆在家里 parent.
186
479494
3675
因为另一半的不理解。
08:15
Because the spouse伴侣 just doesn't get it.

08:29
And it can't be that hard to have
dinner晚餐 ready准备 when I get home, right?"
192
497252
3359

08:32

(笑声)
08:34
Start开始 to freak怪物 out,

08:36
(Laughter笑声)
195
504747
1436
(笑声)
他觉得我是他一伙的 --

He was trying to confide信任 in me --

506207
2127
(笑声 )
08:40
(Laughter笑声)
197
508358
1165
我说,“你压根不知道
自己在说些啥。“
08:41
I said, "You have no idea理念
what you're talking about."
198

533022
2707
09:07
(Laughter笑声)
210
535753
2332
(笑声)
我开始为那些全职父母发声。
09:10
I have become成为 an advocate主张
for stay-at-home呆在家里 parents父母.
211
538109
3079
为啥呢?
09:13
Why?
212
541502
1158
09:14
Because finally最后, I was
standing常设 in their shoes.
213
542684
2666
因为最终,我站在了他们的立场。
09:17
Because when you're standing常设
in someone有人 else's别人的 shoes,
214
545898
2477
因为当你站在别人的立场,
你会从不同的角度看待世界。
09:20
you see the world世界
from a different不同 perspective透视.
215
548399
2267
而当你开始跨出这几步,
就像婴儿蹒跚学步一样。
09:22
And when you start开始 to take steps脚步,
it feels感觉 like baby宝宝 steps脚步, wobbling摆动.
216
550680
3583
09:26
But then they turn into stomps踩踏.
217
554633
2190
但很快就像他们一样会跺脚。
09:28
And you start开始 making制造 footprints脚印
for the next下一个 generation to walk步行 in.
218
556847
3336
你就会为下一代踩出脚印。
09:33
See, we're walking步行
on a certain某些 path路径, as parents父母.
219
561085
2492
明白了吗,作为父母
我们都会走这条路径。
09:35
We're all in this together一起.
220
563601
1309
我们都会走到一起来。
没人会否认,家庭是
我们每个人生命里
09:36
No one can deny拒绝 that family家庭
is one of the biggest最大 foundations基金会
221
564934
2906
最大的那块基石。
09:39
in anyone's任何人的 life.
222
567864
1158
09:41
And we're all walking步行 on this path路径,
223
569046
1686
我们都在这条路径上走过,
09:42
and we're pulling these thickets灌丛
out of the way, and these thorns荆棘,
224
570756
3185
我们会拨开树丛,斩除荆棘,
09:46
making制造 it easier更轻松 for the ones那些
coming未来 after us.
225
574346
2160
让后来者走得更轻松一点。
看起来,育儿的经验
更像是景观改造。
09:48
It turns out, parenting育儿
has a lot more to do with landscaping美化.
226
576530
4031
09:53
And learning学习.
227
581204
1150
更像是学习
09:54
More than teaching教学.
228
582931
1200
而非教导。
09:58
And the best最好 thing to do
is to show显示 up for class.
229
586201
2595
最重要的是要出现在那里。
10:01
Be present当下 is what I learned学到了
as a stay-at-home呆在家里 dad.
230
589622
3706
做一个全职奶爸
我理解了陪伴的力量。
10:06
And let your presence存在 be a gift礼品.
231
594190
2158
让陪伴变成给孩子们的礼物。
10:08
(Video视频) Shh.

GHGH: This was me, coming未来 home
from tour游览 one day.
237
610996
2328
这是有一天,我从外面回来。
10:25
I thought that the father父亲
was supposed应该 to pursue追求 the child儿童.
238
613769
3667
我原来以为父亲会追着孩子跑,
10:29
But it turns out the father父亲
makes品牌 himself他自己 present当下.
239
617785
2889
而作为一个懂得陪伴的父亲。
10:33
And the children孩子 run after him.
240
621144
2261
孩子们会追随着他跑。
10:35
And that right there is a superpower超级大国.
241
623429
2533
这就是我说的超能力。
10:38
And that right there,
my friends朋友, is everything.
242
626683
2770
朋友们,它就是我们拥有的一切。
10:41
Thank you.
