Definition
An at-home dad is any father who is the daily, primary caregiver of his children. Many at-home dads also provide some income to the family by working an evening shift full-time or working from home part-time or doing odd jobs when it works into the family’s schedule. These men may identify themselves by these careers, but, if they are with their children during most days, they are at-home dads.

Connecting
In order to improve one’s life as an at-home dad, and that of his family, he must be brought out of isolation and re-form his identity to become confident in this boundary-breaking role. One of the best ways, according to recent research by Dr. Aaron Rochlen of the University of Texas-Austin, is to connect with other at-home dads. However, finding other at-home dads nearby can be a great challenge. Daddyshome’s mission is to bridge this gap by offering a resource for at-home dads to communicate in discussion forums, start or find a local at-home dad group and gather for the Annual At-Home Dad’s Convention.
