Number of At Home Dads is Growing!

by

The 2005 census put the number of at home dads at 159,000, and lots of sites, and blogs are catering to this new trend. One noted example is Rebel Dad. created by Brian Reid. It is a really clear site with lots of opinions, activities, and links for at home dads. Take a look…

Although I work full-time, I work shifts so quite often drop my daughter at school, then come home and do some housework before going to work later in the day. I get most of my days off during the week, so get little shopping trips done as well, while the stores are quiet.

It does also allow me to do some writing, for this blog in fact, and some studies with the Open University.
