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)
A few suggestions:
ReplyDeleteSOB: slave of baby
PU - BM: parental unit - baby minder
SPADE: stroller pusher and diaper exchanger
MOTH: man of the house
FLOSS: father living on spouse's salary
MINOS: man in need of sleep
