I can really use some help

Hello fellow comrads in arms.

My name is Jeff and I have been a "stay at home Dad" for over six years.  I have two children, a Daughter and son.  My kids are both toddlers and currently live a court ordered 50/50 split with my wife and I.

Concord NC SAHD's (Mom's are welcome too!)

Open to Concord NC and surrounding area Stay At Home Parents (Dad's or Mom's) that are interested in developing playgroups for our kids.  We have a 15 month old son (March) and know that social interaction is very important for both the child and the Stay At Home Parent.  If interested, please join the group and maybe we can build and friendly and helpful network for our area!

Group site for Concord NC and surrounding area Stay At Home Dad's (and Mom's).

Looking forward to hooking up with active Charlotte Dads who are interested in activities, such as: mountain biking, hiking, working out, or just kicking back and drinking coffee in the morning.  Currently in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte.

Looking for dads in the Charlotte area interested in getting together for activities

Hiking, camping, random acts of sidewalk chalking. Anything that we can do to make it a thrill ride and the start of a good story. This is a call out to the stay at home dads, lets do something amazing with our kids, because we are a select few who get to enjoy our times with our kids. I want to plan camping trips, greenway hikes, outtings, fishing trips anything possible to break the cycle. My wife and I are both army veterans with multiple tours under our belts, we have lived all over the place, Germany for 3 years, Korea.

Dads who want to get there kids off the beaten path, do something exciting and change their perspective.

Stay at home Dads - CHARLOTTE NC (Meetup)

Group to support, engage and give society to guys located in Charlotte, NC who for one reason or another are at home with their children. As a Stay-at-Home Dad, I know how difficult it is sometimes to balance childcare with being a guy. I also know that there are many guys out there that would benefit from being able to communicate and meet up with men in the same scenario.

Work-from-home ideas

I know other folks have touched on this, but just in case there are some new ideas out there...
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to track down a 'legitimate' work-from-home opportunity?

Another "late bloomer" to the site

I've just become a SAHD in the last six months or so, watching after our five-year-old son that we adopted from Ethiopia almost two years ago. I spent the last few years in the aviation industry (haven't left it, completely) - big change from the cockpit & the office to playdates & Spongebob!
Just found your site (don't know what took me so long) - looking forward to learning & sharing!

There IS NO DOUBT that if you stay at home with your kid(s) you love them and you love the whole aspect of it. With that said-it can still be a huge stresser. I have a 3, 5 and 7 year old. I love kids, but I never saw myself as a stay at home dad. Unfotunately an accident in the Army meant a much earlier than expected exit into medical retirement. There are huge benefits to staying at home. But!

Energetic Opportunities to meet and greet stay @ home Dad's and share parenting ideas/start friendships and have a blast!

unemployment benefits

my wife brought up the question last night about whether or not i can file for unemployment. i told her i didn't think so since I left my job on my own accord. does anyone know what the requirements are? i would think that you'd only get it if you are laid off, not if you decided to quit your job to stay at home with your child.

cherrio obsession

hey, are any other of your children out there obsessed with cherrios? my kid can't get enough of them. i think these things are worth their weight in gold. i'm finding them all over the house. they certainly can distract her from things i don't want her to have. i'm starting think she's stashing these things for a rainy day.

lawyer group subscription??

i thought you were asking us to post what our wives did for a living. i did that, and then i got back a message from this site that said my subscription was denied. what in the world is that all about? did i just get left out of some kind of exclusive club cause my wife's not a lawyer or something? ha ha
