DaddyScrubs
Not wanting to endure the pains of wearing uncomfortable street clothes while comforting his laboring wife, Robert hatched the idea of creating doctor-like scrubs for himself. It seemed a natural thing for him to do – since Robert is a pharmacist by profession. To eliminate the confusion between “who’s the doctor” and “who’s the daddy,” Robert fashioned the concept of “I’m the Daddy!™” medical scrubs. All comfort wear from DaddyScrubs™ – including “I’m the Daddy!™” medical scrubs and t-shirts is available at www.daddyscrubs.com.
