A Response to the Liberal Minded Mentality Regarding Gun Control

I thought I would create a new blog post based on a comment I received on a different post. It was in response to whether or not we should allow kids to play with toy guns and knives. I said I didn’t have a problem with it as kids who play with toy guns don’t […]

Get Evolved, The Evolution of Dad

Rebel Dad posted a cool link to a website called Evolution of Dad. It is a “Documentary in Progress” about the evolving American father. What is an evolving dad?

“He is a nurturing father who is as involved as possible in the upbringing of his children.”
So what is this project about?
The Evolution of Dad is a […]

When Mommies Head Off to War

When you stop and think about how this world has changed in just a short amount of time it is phenomenal. From the train, to the car, to the airplane, to the space shuttle, to Mars… where does it end. But not only have technological advances taken place in the last 100 years but our […]

Good Dads vs TV Commercials

One of the most aggravating things a good dad can witness is a TV commercial mocking the intelligence of the average father. Before I became a dad, I never really took notice but now I just can’t shake the images from my head of where dad is so incompetent he can’t change a diaper. Or […]

A Man Among Mommies

Being a Stay at Home Dad has its ups and downs as we all know. We face isolation, gender role stereotype attacks by others and the whole nine. I like to share how others feel about being a Stay at Home Dad as it helps let others know the realities of what is happening.

The Attack on Marriage and Traditional Families

Long Island Dad, wrote a great piece ragarding the so-called “attacks” on the traditional family and the concept of marriage. I am fully aware of the touchy topic, especially with the more modern type families of single parents, gay parents, or even something as simple as never getting married but living together as a partner.

Role Reversal, or is it?

Well I had the opportunity to chat with a person yesterday I would consider a good acquaintence. We seem to always hit it off really good and she knows I am a Stay at Home Dad. And for the umpteenth time I heard that question most commonly asked by acquaintences or friends you haven’t talked […]

Putting in an Order for a Boy

If you want to find some good collective articles by a bunch of dads, you should head over to Dad Bloggers. They aren’t all Stay at Home Dads, in fact there are more traditional dads who write about their experiences, offer up advice, and I just contributed my 5th article for them. I will be […]

Did My Background Influence Me to Become a Stay at Home Dad?

Did your background as a child influence your decision to become a stay at home dad? I heard an interview on the radio and this very question was asked from the radio announcer to a stay at home dad. I have actually seen this question raised before and I am not sure if this is […]
