I've got a five-year-old boy at home (and we're just about to adopt our second child) - the wife & I both work, but my schedule's more flexibile so I get to be pretty close to a SAHD. I'm in Winston-Salem, and the resources here for a SAHD run pretty slim most of the time (especially since I'm a bit older than some at 42);

I feel your pain - I've been hoping for to find an active local group, but not much luck so far...

All that being said - congrats on joining up, and welcome aboard! Drop an e-mail, when you can...

Thanks for reaching out, FlyingDad. 

I'm 45 so I know what you mean.  My daughter goes to school during the week so my son and I hang by ourselves usually.  He goes to a parents morning out thing on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 12 other than that, we're together.  I love him to death but he's not much of a conversationalist at 20 months.  When we moved to NC, I thought being a SAHD would be fun but I didn't realize how boring it can be playing choo choo and vroom vroom all day long.  I take him to the park and he runs with me in a running stroller but he (and I) need some more social interaction.

My wife is a resident at Moses Cone hospital (Family Practice) so she has a crazy schedule.  All in all it was a good move, just a difficult adjustment.
