 Written
by a stay-at-home dad for other stay-at-home dads, this handbook
addresses the particular parenting issues men face when they
become the primary caregivers. This "man-friendly"
resource offers practical solutions to such challenges as living
well on one income, understanding the wife's breadwinner status,
cleaning the house without feeling overwhelmed, and networking
in a female-oriented community. Creative anecdotes offer
supportive and effective advice to help stay-at-home dads
successfully deal with the psychological issues, as well as the
everyday details, that make this parenting situation different.
This advice-oriented guide also offers a special section of
newsletters, online chat groups, playgroups around the country,
and stay-at-home dad organizations.
Peter Baylies has been a stay-at-home dad
for his two sons for over 10 years. He writes the At-Home Dad
Newsletter and he is the founder of The At-Home Dad Network, a
stay-at-home dad online community. His work has been featured or
mentioned in the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor,
Men's Health, O, The Oprah Magazine, Parents, USA Today, and
Woman's Day. Jessica Toonkel is the managing editor for Fund
Marketing Alert/Fund Action. She has been a reporter and editor
covering international business and finance for publications
such as American Banker, American Lawyer, and Financial Net
Alert.
