Daunting Task for Mr. Mom: Get a Job →
Compared with at-home moms, who outnumber them by more than 5 to 1, at-home dads face a bigger stigma among would-be employers, and they often have fewer opportunities to network from home. Also, they are returning to a labor market where men have suffered major setbacks; heavy job losses in male-dominated industries and middle management have led pundits to label the latest downturn the...

What you missed from our latest show
The chatroom was hopping on Sunday night and there was some great banter…
* At one point during the show, Kevin Metzger was talking about some of the results from his dad’s survey. He mentioned one survey where a dad reported making $50 million a year AND having sex 10 times a month. Here was the response in the chatroom:
- DaddyFiles: 10 times a month?!?!?!?
- PapaRocks6: Is this...

This week's guest: Kevin Metzger of The DADvocate...
Kevin Metzger and I grew up within 10 minutes of each other. We went to rival high schools, but never knew of each other’s existence until he started the DADvocate Project.
The underlying hypothesis of the project is that today’s generation of dads is more involved in family life than ever before. While many of us dads truly believe this, Kevin has decided to do some research to prove this...

Things that Every SAHD Should Know →
Let’s face it, this isn’t an easy gig. We may have thought it would have been in the begining. We may have had dreams taking long naps and then being woken up gently when Oprah comes on. But the reality of what we have chosen soon finds a way to jump on your crotch with a pair of knees of a 2 year old boy. I don’t know why reality and children always aim for the crotch, but they do. It’s...

Mom the Breadwinner, Dad the...? →
If modern dads are going to step fully into parenting, we as a society must:
Acknowledge how radically and quickly the identity and expectations for men today are changing. For a man who grew up believing his self-worth is measured by his success at work, doing most of the childcare because his wife’s earns more, could plausibly lead to his experiencing strong feelings of shame, anger, and...

The shocking new normalcy of the stay-at-home dad →
I was recently at the park with my kids when an elderly woman beckoned me over to the bench where she was sitting. My daughter sat happily stuffing dirt into her mouth while my son engaged in a “Toy Story”-themed wrestling match, so I figured it was OK if I pulled up a seat next to her. She told me she had seen me at the park before and she wanted to let me know that I was a...

A Path less taken in the 'Lou' →
I consider us progressive, evolved, and trend-setting, even. SAHDs aren’t common. But here in tha Lou, many folks have barely hidden their disdain for the concept. It makes me sad for my husband to be disrespected like that but it also makes me ashamed. Before I had my daughter, I had those same exact feelings about Stay-At-Home-Moms.

In remembrance of Baby Alex
Over the last few weeks, the Band have been following the heartwrenching story of our friend @DaddyFiles and his family. We watched and waiting with all of our fellow tweeps, hoping and praying for a miracle that did not take form. We wanted to show our support for Aaron, MJ and their entire family and to do our part to keep Baby Alex’s memory alive. Below is a button and code you can post...

The Rise of the Stay At Home Dad →
“In an effort to teach his son about the Winter Olympics, the stay-at-home dad perched the 4-year-old atop a light green cooler with wheels. He then dragged the cooler down a paved incline, covering about 100 feet in less than 10 seconds. For that, he won the gold medal.”
