Desperately seeking Stay at Home Dads

This is a casting call for all dads who decided to, or had to become a stay-at-home-dad as a result of the recession / global financial crisis. The story will be published on of the the UK's leading women's magazines - and best of all, the magazine is willing to pay £200 for your time - YAY!

So if you are based in the UK and are interested in giving it a go, write up a short summary of your story (including your age, former occupation, circumstances of shifting into the child care role, etc). A photo of you and your family would also be good.
Send it all to gerrie.associates@virgin.net or call Anthea Gerrie on 01580-200574.

After the selection process the journalist will do a full interview with you.

Good luck dads!

In the name of the father

Here is an article by Rose Hoare who interviewed Scott about his experiences as a Stay At Home Dad, published in the Sunday Magazine (Sunday Star Times).

By Rose Hoar

Fathers used to be the ones who worked all day to put food on the family’s table, meted out punishments once they got home, and then were grateful to retire from the hubbub of family life to smoke a pipe or paint model aircraft or something.

A provider, a disciplinarian, a stranger in his own household – men may well have chafed in that role. Some forty years ago, mothers began entering the workforce in increasing numbers, and fathers began shouldering a greater share
of child care. Today, increasingly changeable working lives and a growing labour force of mothers mean more fathers are happy to forgo playing the gruff breadwinner and become nurturing nappy-changers instead.
