Elephant Mum

In this blog post, I reflect on my first year as a stay-at-home dad with my daughter. I share the highs and lows of balancing daily parenting with personal growth. From the necessity of keeping busy with activities to manage my sanity, to the realization that patience is a daily practice, I offer a candid look at my journey. I discuss the importance of nurturing my marriage and adapting to the ever-changing dynamics of parenting. Despite the challenges, I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything, as it has allowed me to forge a strong bond with my daughter and embrace the joys of watching her grow.

"While I have read many instances of SAHD’s being judged or looked down upon for their decision, I have been fortunate that has not been my experience. I have both a loving and supportive wife as well as a supportive community. I realize I’m lucky and that these opportunities to spend time with my daughter are fleeting."
