Are there any stay home dads out there? What would you like us stay home moms to know? See details?

See details. What are some of the issues/problems/pet peeves you face that stay home moms don't? I ask, because I recently heard about a dad that stopped coming to play groups and other activities, because the moms there just kind of ignored him.

I wasn't part of the group, but I still felt really bad for him. How can we (moms) make you feel more included and welcomed in situations like that. Asked by marissa 56 months ago Similar questions: stay home dads moms details Family > Parenting.

I did the stay at home thing from the time my Daughters were 2months until they were 18Months First, we're not "cute" or "strange" or "wonderful" or anything like that. We're just being parents. When I was out with the girls, Moms the world over wanted to mother my kids and "help" me, because I was obviously male and couldn't possibly change a diaper or find a pacifier or feed my kids.

Also, we aren't an object for your flirting or anything like that. When my girls were about 13 months, we discovered this park where there were plastic "kites" that formed a roof over a sidewalk. Quite pretty and my girls LOVED it.So we went there a couple of times a week to eat, toddle around and point at kites.

I'd have the leashes on the girls, sit at a bench, read a little and they'd have a BALL. Women coming there would only do three things: completely and totally ignore me and my girls, chide me for my seeming inattention and ask where their Mom was or sit down next to me and flirt with me. Just talk to us and treat us like people.

We probably aren't any more interested in the same things as you as other guys, but we love our kids and want to know about pull-ups and Binkies and playgrounds and all that junk as much as the other Moms. Remember that we are much more likely to want to take our kids to a game than a playgroup or a little party, and we aren't as (well, not all of us, anyway) talky as y'all are. Different people.

Hope this helps. I admit, I was glad when my wife got PG again and she said, I am going to stay home with the kids. Sources: My answer .

I'll answer on behalf of my husband He had a hard time transitioning to the role of stay at home parent vs. breadwinner. Not bringing in a physical paycheck took some getting used to for him. I have been pretty gung ho from the beginning.

Our families have been mostly supportive however, there are a few people who will make hurtful comments that they do not see as offensive, such as "What do you do all day? " "Since you have more time...." it drives him crazy. My husband has said that staying at home is harder work than his previous job and much more rewarding.In regards to ply groups and the like, make sure to include them.

Realize you have a man in your group, ask him his perspective on things. I am sure you will find many similarities but also a few things that you may not have considered.My husband surprises me everyday with his parenting style. There are many things that he thinks about that I don't even consider.

He is a great dad, he has just needed some reassurance that he is doing a great thing. Sources: our family .

2 Bottom line, yep. And understand we're who we are, I guess. Don't force us to be you, and we'll try and do the same.

Of course, I am speaking from (relatively) ancient history on my part .

A laundry question for moms (or dads) who do the laundry for the whole family.

For you moms or dads who have children going back to school this month.....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
