Anybody hear of this? Does anybody use it? Does it work?

My wife is in the double standard crowd. Should I be mad?

I stay at home with my 3 y/o daughter. Today, I was lamenting to my wife about how it can be frustrating to arrange social activities for our daughter. We were discussing how many moms have a double standard where they are perfectly willing to let their children be supervised by another mom but terrified of having them supervised by a fellow parent that happens to be a dad (who they may know equally well or better). Of course, everyone needs to get to know someone before sending their kid over.

To be or not to be a question for AHDs?

A little background. Not an AHD yet but the wife is a few months along now w/ our first. We're really excited, but expecting alot of work in the years to come as far as parenting goes. She is a school administrator, has smokin' benefits, and is the primary bread winner. I am a construction mngr and not too far behind salary-wise. We are playing w/ our budget to see if we can swing me staying home for awhile w/ the kid.

Bitter New Member

I have someone who is wants to join our local at-home dads group, but in the couple of emails that he has sent me, he has let me know that he has recently gotten divorced, his wife is a you know what and he is very, very angry with her. I feel like I have to let him in to the group, and I want to give support to a AHD that is struggling , but I am concerned that he is so angry that it will bring everyone else down, and I would not want to turn the group into his "complaining about his ex" sounding board.

Wife Having Job Trouble...

The only reason I made this Anonymous is on the totally outside chance that someone from my wife's work would stumble upon this, but do any of you have advice for this situation?
