Every once in a while I get a masterpiece on the initial shock of the at-home dad life. Yesterday David Barringer, an aspiring  freelancer writer, designer and at-home dad sent me his. The first line,  Shut the hell up!? jump-starts his take on the all too familiar tale of a man who went from a "WIHF" (work in home father)  to unemployed, in debt, and facing about three hours of grade school homework every night for the next eight years.  

If his upcoming "comic novel"  American Home Life. is anything like what I just read, we will be hearing a lot more from this North Carolina dad.  I really hate novels but I'll wander through it on my Virginia beach sand sofa during April break with my kids and post my review.  More on David: davidbarringer.com

I received 3 more entries for the best rookie daddy blog contest Daddy Dialectic. (thanks rebeldad for the suggestion)  Daddyshack and Inside Fatherhood. If your new daddy blog meets the 2 requirements please send in your link, I'll add it right on the left blog roll.
