Stay At Home DAD

Eagle-Ladybird:
.... go for a 9-hole golf game with buddies. Then pick the kids up and have lunch at the club. Maid feed them lunch, and I continue with my buddies. Then go for a quick swim with the kids and showers taken care of. .... and I'll meet up with some brothers for coffee. Maybe go to car show rooms, or happy hours :celebrate:
Pick them up from enrichment classes, and pick wifey up as well (since she's a highflyer, she leaves work maybe 5pm). Go for a stroll at the parks, have dinner, ... :siam:
that's not \"stay at home\" :rotflmao: -

maybe his buddies are ladies ... SAHM???Eagle-Ladybird:

Then, you have to make sure that your buddies also become SAHDs too. :lol: -

I have discussed this with dh before. If I ever received an expatriate pay including lodging, kids education, health benefits etc and need to station overseas, I take the job and everyone will be coming along. He will be SAHD. As a token of appreciation for his willingness to sacrifice his job, he will take the monthly rental for our current flat.
Only if that situation arise, will I allow him to become SAHD. Otherwise, he is better off at work cause, he is very bad in housekeeping and managing kids welfare. -
I'm a WAHD (Work At Home Dad). Run my little Lone Ranger business from home. We don't have a maid and my wife travels a fair bit so I'm the sole caregiver sometimes. Drops him and wife off at work, school, skating lessons, etc and tries to do my share of housework -- and my own work -- before wifey gets back from work so we can spend more time together as a family in the evening.
School is a short bus ride away so when I have meeting with clients, my kid makes his own way home (and them SMSs me). Just asked him how he feels about me taking a regular salaried job next year since he'll be starting secondary school next year and he said he'd rather I continue to work from home. Will miss having him as my lunch kaki and makan place explorer

My long term plan is to be a SAHD…play chess and tennis with the boys, tend to the garden, paint walls, lacquer furniture, yeah, sound like fun (really!).

I am not in favour of DH being a SAHD.
He is much fussier than I am.
He is much stricter than me, more organised ( he does all the groceries shopping ) etc etc
He is a better housekeeper than me. He knows every corners of the house...
But he being a perfectionist will also mean my maid and children will suffer as he will always be telling them, \" Why are you doing this and not that?\" blah blah blah...
So I will still prefer him to work and I will gladly miss the presence of him while he is at work

Smurf, I like your emoticon. So appropriate!
My DH don’t mind being a SAHD but unfortunately he earns more than me so whoever earns more should get his butt out there and bring in the dough. However, I don’t mind staying at home myself. Beats getting into office politics and meeting boot-licking people. -
