I hate the notion that SAHPs are gold diggers/lazy

@choosehappiness I bet it’s lonely af too. There’s a few apps for moms to make friends and set up play dates but I haven’t seen any mixed or for dads.

Just sayin’, I see you.

@katrina2017 I’m actually trying to create a local platform for such a thing since my city is a very active one and I do occasionally run into other dads that are in my situation while out and about.

@choosehappiness Nice! Be the change you want to see and all that. We’re about to move to super tiny town, so I’m hoping to eventually just know everyone.

@choosehappiness My friend found herself as admin of the local mommy FB group, it was overrun by spam and the person who had it didn’t want to do it anymore.

First change was renaming it from “Moms” to “Parents”.

@choosehappiness Yeah I'm betting the stigma as a SAHD is way worse than as a SAHM. More power to you, you're doing what's best for your family and I love that.

@joaa And it can be quite fun. I also like that by being the one that handles the cooking and shopping, I get to eat a whole lot more of what I want to and like. If I want to drop everything and just go to the zoo or museums with my kids for the day. I think more men need to grasp doing this because the kids benefit so much from having both parents available to experience the smaller parts of life.
