There's not a whole lot floating out there on at-home dads this week, so if you see something worth my attention, by all means, let me know.

One quick public service announcement: if you'd like to get a makeover by the folks from Maury Povich's show, they're looking for a stay-at-home dad for a taping next week. Shaggy gentlemen preferred. Contact me for more info. Seriously.

Finally, some good news from across the pond. Scottish SAHDs have doubled in the last five years, according to the Herald. The piece suggests that the rise in men at home has much to do with the banishment of the stereotype of the macho male worker (which they imply is happening in lockstep with the rise of the working woman.

But the thing about the piece I love best is that the UK's HomeDad group has is now functioning not only as an information resource for at-home dads, but also as an advocacy group, spreading the good word. They have a "spokesman," for goodness sakes. They're pros!
