Calgary's Child

In this heartfelt piece, I share my journey as a stay-at-home dad, challenging the outdated stereotypes of fatherhood. I explore the joys and challenges of being the primary caregiver for my daughter, the life lessons I've learned, and the pride I feel in embracing this role. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I highlight how fatherhood is evolving and the privilege I have to actively participate in my child's growth. This article reflects my passion for redefining what it means to be a dad in today's world and celebrating the special moments that come with it.

"In Canada, stay-at-home parents dropped from 1,487,000 in 1976 to 493,000 in 2015. While the number of stay-at-home moms has decreased every year, the number of stay-at-home dads has grown every year. According to Stats Canada, since 1976 SAHDs have increased in popularity from 1 in 70 to 1 in 10."
