Well here is post no 1 for the Aussie Stay at Home Dad.
Being a stay at home dad (House husband) is a growing trend in Australia and other western countries. It was a big decision for myself and my wife but we have no regrets as yet.
We decided to make this change about 1 year ago and there was a  number of reasons why we did this. I will go into the reasons in future posts and in some of my other titles. I have decided to record my transition into a stay at home dad as a reference for myself and a guide to others who may be considering doing this also.
It can be a scary thing but also rewarding if you have enought thought and planned the change well. We had plenty of time to think about it and the main thing stopping us was money. Tell me something new you all may be saying. Money is often the main reason but not always the one that makes the decision possible for you. some blokes may be thinking of doing this to escape their work life or just to provide stimulation in your life. We have our own reasons and I tell all in future postings.
I do not promise to post everyday but I will log in as time permites and thoghts prevail. Ther are a lot of things I want to talk about from the Dads point of view including my fears thoughts and even some of the funny things that have happened to me in my new role.

I will also talk about 2 special resons why I have done this. My 2 boys Alexander and Nicholas. As I wriight this they are 5 and 2.5 and the time I have experienced with them over the past year has been most special.

I will want to talk about my part of the bargain if I want to continue to be the Aussie Stay At Home Dad and that includes a deal of sorts. For me stay at home I have to start earning some money. I will have lots of stories of how I will do this and here is my promise. I WILL DO THIS!
I have set some goals and motivations to make this possible. to make sure I achieve my goals I will make them public.

I ask you to come back and see my goals and urge me on and help me and I will tell you how I do it.

See you next post
