PhilaDads is a group / website devoted to supporting new and experienced Dads alike. Learn the ins and outs of raising kids from home and use our resources, ask questions, view tips and tricks and of course vent when all seems to be falling apart.  You are not alone, as more and more Dads are finding themselves at home these days.

My Wife is about to join the National Gaurd and today we had an incedent at our househo where I started thinking about her being gone for 10 week and went to do somehting to show her my support, While doing so I left my children in a room that was gated off for atmost two minutes alone, durring that time my youngest daughter found a bottle of childrens tylonal and oppend it she dumpped most of it on the floor but I was concerend and tried to make her vomit and called my wife.

Yes, we are Dads, and we are staying at home. Sitting around talking about breast milk with moms just ain't cuttin' it. We work hard taking care of our kids, and thus we need social interaction. We will plan daytime get togethers with kids, and evening get togethers without- parks, ballgames, river outings....  the rules aof Dadadelphia club are:

1) Be a stay at home dad

2) Be cool to others.

Come on! What are you waiting for?

I am coming to the end of a 5 year journey as a SAHD. I am looking to graduate school and getting back to a career with great trepidation. Any suggestions as how to make this transition easier on me and my kids would be appreciated. I am also concerned about my prospects for emplayment after such a long hiatus. So, input there is needed as well.
