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 […]

Trophy Dads - Staying at Home With the Kiddos

Thanks to Hsien for emailing me an article that just came out about an increasingly common issue. What’s that common issue?

New Stay at Home Dad

Well I have been seeing it more and more. Dads are either at home a lot more or almost permanently. It is either a sudden shocking move, such as my position where I put in my 2 weeks notice and then BAM, I haven’t been employed in over 3 years. Or it is a slow […]
