		<description>This is the dumbest stay at home dad story. Alls he says is the obvious. Why don&#039;t you talk about the chores or greif from parents who don&#039;t accept stay at home dads. The author should have put together a better story. Im a stay at home dad who does more chores in one day than most woman could do in 3. Im a plumber who also is doing remodeling around the house let&#039;s see a mommy replace a roof. Also im pretty sure this guy is having an affair</description>

		<description>Ah, I&#039;ve figured it out. Men who are stay at home fathers are so embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for failing in the workforce that they have to save face and tell the world, &quot;I do it for the freedom, for the hot chicks who all think it&#039;s sexy!&quot; Meanwhile he&#039;s too busy doing laundry, changing diapers, helping with homework, reading recipe books and washing crayon off the walls to look at a female crosseyed.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s just mighty creepy how he doesn&#039;t ever mention his children. Without them, he wouldn&#039;t be a househusband but they don&#039;t even get a tiny little mention. He&#039;s too busy trying to bolster his ego with telling himself how sexually desirable he is. Housewives don&#039;t go around doing that. He sounds like he&#039;s delusional. My husband is a house husband and trust me he has so much to do, he doesn&#039;t have time to flirt with desperate women. The Housewife/husband job is a difficult and time consuming one, leaving you with precious little time to think, much less do for yourself. This &quot;superdad&quot; blogging above just doesn&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>Good Lord! I was a SAHD to an ADHD/BiPolar woman for 10 years here in Canada for over 10 years. The reason: to fill the negligence she had towards the kids. The result: divorce. I have nothing now, she has the kids &amp; they are gong down the toilet fast. I stumbled on this blog &amp; read two major threads.

Think about this... If you put your focus (you commented on your lack of focus several times) towards your SAHD &amp; kids, where it should be... would you have ant time to blog at all?

		<description>I&#039;m in  an odd position here.  I&#039;m a work at home dad and my wife is a stay at home mom.  I enjoy the perks of spending more time with my family than most people dream of.  I definitely have my &quot;work hours&quot; but my lunch break is one that most people dream of.  I think most women expect their men to contribute in some form or fashion beyond taking care of the kids.  Women want to proud of their men for what they do beyond the house, even if it&#039;s just winning in some local tennis tournament.

		<description>It is not that they don&#039;t care about the family but they feel that their partner does not give them the care that they deserve or need. It is not something to be proud of for sure, but it is human nature to be flattered by attention, particularly if one feels they are not getting it at home.
I can understand receiving attention and even the flirting. Being able to cheat with someone is just as fulfilling as doing it as far as an ego boost. The minute he knocked on that door, he cheated. Career, Business-person being synonymous with cheater is a destructive theme being visited too often lately.</description>

		<description>If it looks and smells like shit...  Its gonna be shit, and this is complete shit.  From the start your story is flawed as you took over a years worth of emails and edited them into a short story that fit your agenda.  

I&#039;m a Single Dad, of a 7 year old, whose struggling to make the bills on a regular basis, if you want to interview a dad instead of curving a story to fit your agenda.... Then interview one.  


You want to get into issues with the shattering of the classic gender roles in the world of parenting.  Why don&#039;t you take on your own fellow women and share with us, why in recent years the number of deadbeat moms has exploded nation wide.  More and more women leaving their kids lives everyday, creating more and more Single Father House holds every day..</description>
