About me

Introduction I chose to spend my son's first year as a stay-at-home dad in New York City when I decided to take a child-care leave of absence from being a public school teacher. I started this blog for two main reasons: 1. Be THE DESTINATION for dads by sharing interesting thoughts, news, content, and playgroup information 2. Create a large network of involved fathers in NYC of stay-at-home dads, part-time at home dads, freelance, etc. looking to get together during the week. It is so important for our children to interact with other kids & so important for us dad's to avoid isolation and talk about our kid's development and learn new tricks to keep our kids happy or... just talk sports. My goal is to network and organize a regular meet up during the week while the rest of the world is working so we can take advantage of what the city has to offer without the crowds, while still allowing time in the evenings and weekends for our family bonding time. It is hard to meet other stay-at-home dad's so it is time to reach out to the local on-line community.
