Calling Stay at Home Dads

[brewski]

Hi, my partner has decided to stay at home with our son rather than put him in nursery and work around him. Are there any other similar dads in the area I could connect him with? There are lots of mum things but not sure how to find dad things.

It?s a good idea but he may need to set something up himself, as mums have done for themselves in the past.

Maybe he could print some flyers suggesting a meeting point and take it from there, it may take a while to bed in but if there?s demand it should be a success.

Good luck to him!

There are other stay at home dads. I would just go to lots of group activities (Whippersnappers, Gymboree, etc) and he might find some other dads in the crowd and strike up a rapport. To be honest though, once the babies are past a certain age the number of parents thins out quite a bit from what I've seen. Good luck!
