I think I'm the most awesome dad and my kids would love this! Yes, they'd be the lucky recipients of this if I was chosen.

Because winning one is a whole lot better than buying one. :)

Because I can use it to play with my kids and show them how much fun video games are!
 
I'm a first time dad this Father's Day, and even though my daughter just yesterday gave me the absolute BEST Father's Day gift by saying "da-da" for the first time, the shield would be icing on the cake!!
 
I want it because I like good technology, good products, Android, and most of all, new gadgets. And because I can't afford it... :-(

I get up at 6 every weekday to work out, because I don't have time to do so otherwise since time spent working out after work is less time with my boys. Then my oldest gets up at 7:30, I change his diaper and get him dressed. Then it's his little brother's turn - get him out of the crib and change/dress him. Then it's breakfast time, which is usually a big mess for both of them. My wife is usually ready to take over at this point, and I head off to work for the day. I get home around 6, help feed the boys dinner, then usually wrestle/play trucks/play ball outside with the oldest for a while, with his little bro watching from the floor wishing he was big enough to run and play. The little one usually gets some good play time as well, with piggy back rides, walking/crawling lessons, etc. Then I bathe both boys, get them both dressed and ready for bed, read each of them stories and sing them songs, and tuck them in to bed by around 8:30 p.m. Then it's time to clean up the mess from the day, including toys, dishes, etc. Then I usually have about 30-45 minutes to visit with my wife, then I get to bed. Wake up, rinse, repeat.

The weekends are pretty similar, but instead of work the daytime is spent doing family stuff for the most part - going to the park, finding a local festival with fun kids activities, doing yard work with my 2 year old's "help." This father's day weekend I'm building them a playhouse in the yard.

We don't watch much TV in this house - mainly because we don't have time, and I think the time we do have is better spent "doing" things rather than passively sitting around and staring at the TV. I have to admit though, I do miss my gaming days - my old former top of the line gaming PC collects dust in between serving as a web browser/photo cache, and my PS3 looks at me longingly wondering why it has been so neglected the past few years. I do try to sneak in some "me time" when I'm not busy with the family, but there hasn't been much of that for the past 2-3 years.

All that being said though, I wouldn't have it any other way. The cliche is true - being a dad is the best thing that's ever happened to me. That's why I think I deserve a Shield. Because I'm a dad. A darn good one, if you ask me.
