Call Me Something Other Than SAHD

We must think of a different phrase for a stay-at-home dad (SAHD).  I am as far from being sad to be a SAHD as can be.  I’ve seen “at-home dad” used, but then I’m an AHD.  An ad for being a SAHD perhaps?  As I experience the life of a SAHD or AHD, I wonder if there’s a better acronym out there.  Here’s what I’ve thought of; maybe one of them will stick during my time as a dad who’s a house spouse (DWAHS). Feel free to vote in the comments section.

DAHD – Daily at Home Dad

DAHDEE – Daily At Home Diaper Engineering Entrepreneur

DWCTLHJTSAH – Dad Who Chose to Leave His Job to Stay at Home (more initialism than acronym, but worth trying to avoid questions from parents)

D-WAPE – Dad Who’s At Playground Everyday (not because it’s “daddy’s day”)

D-WESH – Dad Who Everyday Swaddles at Home (ninja swaddling skills required)

F-NOBD – Father Not Offended by Diapers (maybe if I plugged my nose)

F-TWIB – Father Thankful Wife Is Breadwinner (for allowing me to have this great life experience)

HAPEE – Home All-the-time Parental Engaging Endeavour (whatever it takes to reverse being SAHD)

SWOWAPOCD – Someone Who Only wants A Pile Of Clean Diapers

SEED – Stinky Evacuator of Every Diaper (easy to pronounce, hard to maintain)
