It sure is difficult to find other stay home dads, so I've been searching the internet and found this site. All day I get to have conversations with a 4 kids, and no adults. This may not make for conversation, but at least I can interact somehow.
Just recently my wife and I decided that I would stay at home with the kids. My day starts out with 1, our 2 year old foster child, then my 3 year old at 11:22 after preschool, then my 5 year old at 12:02 after kindergarten, then my 7 year old at 4:10 after school.
The reason I stay home, other than for the kids, is a long story, but comes to several points, day care is expensive, the house is completely chaotic, with both of us working full time, and the kids are craving attention, in the driving me crazy type of way.
Well that's the short of it, but it still felt good to tell this to anyone else out there. :?

Welcome Alan, I think every dad on this board has trouble finding other stay at home dads to hang out with.

This board is getting very active, you have found 93 "instant" friends. So stop by when you can, vent, ask advice, give advice and laugh at the many funny comments. Beer and Boobies are often used to derail topics :D

Well hang in there dude! You found the right site I just jioned about 2 weeks ago and I love it . I find it to give me people to talk to and answer question if I have them. I am a first time dad,and a stay at home dad to boot so I don't know everything there is to know about raising a newbore.I found this site and I think it is very cool to be able to talk to other stay at home dad through out the counrty.

Welcome to the site and I am glad you found it. This site has done a lot for me and I find it relaxing to come here in the evenings especially.

I have met a lot of nice folks and maybe I will run into one of you guys someday...
