FINALLY!!!!!! A resource for us Stay at home Dads! I left my job at Home Depot as an Asset Protection Specialist specifically to stay home with my then three month old son. (That was in November of 2007) When my wife's materity leave ended, we looked at the options: Either she stays home and I get a second job to pay for the health benefits; We both go to work and let someone else raise our firstborn son; or I stay home. The choice was easy. (My boss did NOT understand - but all of my co-workers were very supportive.) My parents were a little skeptical when I told them - they thought at first that I was just too lazy to keep a job. (Funny how they wouldn't think that of any woman who wanted to stay home!) but they have warmed up considerably since then.

The hardest adjustment has been the cleaning (dishes and vacuuming mostly) I have always done the cooking, but cleaning was my wife's speciality. (She loves to clean and has a very set way of cleaning - down to the order that the plates were stacked in the cabinets) We are both adjusting - so far so good.

Looking forward to meeting other dads....
