I’ve been thinking for a few weeks about the lack of centralized information for stay at home dads and things they do with their kids. Perfect example: stayathomedad.com, .net, and .org are all owned by squatters. It’s sad. Of course you can Google “things to do with your kids on the cheap” or something similar- but why should you have to fly from site to site to find information that should be readily available all in one place that’s easy to find?

I think this is my mission, you know? I’m sure there are too many dads who are in the position I was in when I started this God awful unemployed stint(and boy will I be glad when it’s over). You feel like you’re drowning, because all of a sudden you have a 3 year old(or whatever age) who is giving you 100 percent of their attention 100 percent of the time that mommy isn’t there.

I understand there is a wider market were I to aim not directly at dads, but also at moms, but let’s face it- women do have that intuition that we lack that seems to keep them ahead of the game. It seems almost instinctive watching my wife interact with our daughter, where I struggle to find even the simplest things to do with her.

THERE ARE TONS OF FUN THINGS TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS. You just sometimes need someone to point you in that right direction. I’m going to try to post at least a couple of times a week things that my daughter and I do that are inexpensive, fun, and don’t make me feel like I’m going to go crazy. I’m sure I’m going to struggle along the way, I’m sure I’ll find things she hates, other things that I hate, but I’m going to try to compile the best things and share them. While I’m still thinking of a URL, I’ve mae a new Tumblr to track them all.
