Theme Parks

Wondering if any of the at home dads plan annual trips to theme parks, like Disneyworld,  Magic Mountain,  Disneyland, waterparks, etc. Or, other annual vacations.  Take some of the hard earned money you save and have fun with it with your family.

Tailgating

Wonder if any of the At Home Dads tailgate, or know people that do.  Know you probably already know, but tailgating is at NASCAR events, or football games where people barbecue in the parking lot.   Never done it.  Any tailgate barbecuers out there?

What to do with toddler when wife's away

Have responsibility for my three year old boy while my wife is away (Wed. through Saturday).

Luckily two of those days are full-day day care (Wed and Friday) but I didn't

know if anyone had creative ideas on things to do together Thursday and in

the evenings. Live in western central NJ.

All the best!

 

I'd like to work from home while i'm taking care of the kids, does anyone have any ideas on jobs or know where to look?

I'm a stay at home dad who has a son with a genetic disorder (prader-willi syndrome.) I have Dr. appointments left and right. My wife and I talked it over and decided that she'd work because she made more money. Our income was cut, but now getting help through the state. I'd like to supplement our income by doing something from home. If you know of any jobs or ideas to be done at home, please let me know. We'd gladly appreciate it.

Is a At Home Dad a Logistical Specialist?

A Logistical Specialist defines what material, equipment, tools, and personnel is needed for a mission, operation, task. Then the logistical specialist is part of a team that ensures that everything is ready prior to load out/departure.

Would the time as an at home dad, be therefore considered the equivalent work of a Logistical Specialist?
