HI! I'm a Work at Home/stay at Home Dad of a 2 and a 4 Yr. old...may I Join?

.

Welcome!!

And...I do think there should be a DADapedia. Not because you are not welcome here. Be prepared for hormone induced questions and answers ....and plenty of questions about vaginas,discharge from all orifices, sex and rants about husbands...other than that there is a lot we can learn from you and help you with.

Good luck and best wishes!!

Welcome! I suspect dadapedia would be very small and not much of a forum, but you're welcome to start one, or play on here. Some moms are a little funny about having a dad on here, but then.......some moms are a little funny about anything. I for one, welcome a man's perspective on parenting and some of the questions that come up, wholeheartedly! Especially in an anonymous context such as this. Wish my brother would go ahead and join. :)

I need reinforcements! It can be fun here, if someone doesn't like you being on here, they will send you a private message (I'm speaking from experience).
And yes, you will be AMAZED at what the Mamas ask on here, insightful but not our 'department' so to speak.
Glad you're here

Actually, you need a permission slip signed by your wife. jk

BAHAWAHA!

Some of our most, um, interesting moms are dads.

:)

I can't speak for anyone else, but I genuinely appreciate a man's perspective on any & all of the questions brought up here. Beware though, there are a lot of *ahem* rather uptight mama's on here as well who will tear you apart if you dare answer any questions of a sexual nature. With that in mind, welcome! ;)

I say the more the merrier! We have a couple of dads here who have given us wonderful insight, tips on cars and shown us a thing or two about being sensitive. From my standpoint Welcome! Nono PLEASE don't start a dadapedia. They would probably leave us out.

Welcome aboard!!! I wish there were more of you and I suspect you'll encounter some stereotype busting moments in your new social role. My DH is our daughter's girl scout troop leader. The girls love it and enjoy it but the council still send his mail to Mrs. and he was delegated to camping in the basement of their last trip and once slept in the truck! We're OK with it and we make sure all of the moms are cool with it. This year we even got a cookie DAD as he was a stay at home and all of the moms in the troop work outside the home.

Times they are a changing and social roles must too! I, for one, am happy to meet you!

Papapedia, maybe??

WELCOME! I'm sure all of us ladies would love to have you and hear your outlook on things, but as someone else mentioned, check with the wifey!!!!!!!

Chat soon

As mentioned, there are a couple of dad's on here, no big deal to me!

It should be PARENTpedia...

Welcome, Mr. Work at hom dad! (Stay at home can be a misnomer, and there is plenty of work involved with kids!)

Please do! I enjoy reading the male prospective of what many Moms endure. It's a great site and I hope you enjoy your experience here.

I can only speak for myself...I have seen some other Dads on here...and I am sure that some of the folks that we "assume" are Mamas are really Dads....so come on in...the water's fine!!!
Welcome...it will be nice to get a mans perspective on things.

I love hearing a dad's perspective on things. Welcome!

of course!! We have daddy's on this site as well!!! The more the merrier!!

Welcome!

There are times on this site that the moms actually give a shout out to the dads for their perspective so be prepared ;-)

As with all women this site can get pretty catty so you may gain a whole new appreciation for your wife. She'll start wondering why you're so happy to see her when she gets home LOL . See benefits all around!

My husband is an active over the shoulder reader of this site.....And we have some daddio's that are regular's on here. so as long as you do not mind a good cat fight.....stay as long as you want:)

It is good to get a male view point about stuff....from someone other then the man I married:)

Yup.

I consider my dad more of a "mom" because he was a fire fighter and "only" worked 9-11 days a month. He ROCKED as a parent/mom/dad.

If HE can handle three girls that were all born within four years he can handle anything! Being home with kids is like doing GOD'S WORK, well at least that's what I tell MYSELF every day.

Welcome.

absolutely you can join, and welcome :) we have a couple dads who are regular posters on here :) yes, we have talked about having a dadapedia too! but till then feel free to hang out here. just be prepared. some questions might get a little "tmi" lol.

We'd love to have you!!

Hola, Bonjour, Salaam, Aloha, Salut, Privet, Jambo. In other words.....

HOWDY!

Are you crazy? We can't possibly have the opinion of a SAHM (gasp!) dad!! We only want the same opinions on here!

Of course you can join!!

Make sure you know what you're getting into though... =D

Yes, you can join! Welcome! A Dadapedia would be a great idea though... :)

Welcome aboard! It's nice to see a new "face." :)

We won't hold any stereotypes against you, if you don't do the same to us. Deal?

Remember if you want to tell us about your day that's great, but you still need to ask a question - if you don't want it to be pulled. (I think those are my favorite posts, btw.)

I love hearing the work and home/stay at home dad points of view. My husband is a work at home dad...helps me to appreciate what he does all the more. So that I can go out and do what I love!

Welcome...I've learned that I can't take what everyone here writes to heart...some of it I have to let roll off.

We have a few daddies on here that are mostly appreciated. Some very rare examples of women who dont like ranting in mixed company.

I am not one, i value the man's opinion and point of view , especially the kind of man who takes on a role of SAHD and needs support.

Welcome to the group, My son is a single Dad who has his 9mon old a lot of the time. I have friends who for whatever the reason have been the stay / work at home Dad. I think its wonderful you want to give and receive info on parenting.

Welcome!
My husband is a work-at-home/stay-at home Dad too. It was a tough spot to be in when we started having a family 13 years ago but it's getting easier every day.

Glad to have you here.

I think it would be wonderful to have a Dad's opinion...it's always good to get a different perspective!

Awesome - and welcome to the forums. Please disregard any judgments, snarky comments, negativity, drama, etc that might happen along the way. On the whole, most of us really enjoy sharing knowledge, experiences, and the joys and struggles of parenting =)

Good for you! Unless you don't mind hearing about hormones and girl parts, there's a very high percentage of useful information on dealing with kids and extended family. Welcome!

I sure hope you can join! I can't see why not :) I often tell my husband that I get lots of ideas/solutions/empathetic ears that dads don't always have access to. Welcome aboard!
