He's just volunteering to meet young momsOriginally posted by nicknolte
My neighbor did this. Sold his previous business to stay at home with daughter, and has been a stay at home dad for about a decade now.
As far as I know he helps fill the time by volunteering at his daughter's school, and runs a leisure-based sporting goods business out of his home.
... and good for him I'd do the same.
Find a way to socialize your child which also enables you to socialize with other adults - if you don't do this you will go crazy. (Join "mom-clubs" and such)
edit: Also , don't find any shame in staying at home with your kid contrary to what some people think. I know some people think stay at home dads are dead beats / lazy - I find most that do actively participate in their kids lives which is crucial and very important and I think it's good. If the mom makes enough money and is fine with you not working, then who cares. It just ensures that if you have a daughter you likely won't see her on girls gone wild since she'll have a good father figure
