The internet is a big place. Let me know if you find anything good; I'm just lost. Here's what I've randomly wandered into recently:

Also by me

Edge of the Otherworld

Christian reflection, drama and humour.

Dads

HomeDad UK

This is great. There's not much happening in terms of articles but this is the place to go to get in contact with a large number of other housedads. Ask a question on the forums and you're bound to get friendly help and support pretty quick. You are not alone.

The Daddy's Den

An American TV comedy writer shares some humorous insights on parenting (including this where he inadvertently captures the experience housedads have every single day).

DadAtHome.co.uk

A good source of short articles on dealing with many issues affecting housedads, from altered finances to low social status. There's also information on general parenting topics, such as immunisation and household chores, but considered from a housedad perspective. It's an essential read if you're new to the housedad life or thinking of taking it up.

DadLabs

"An edgy, fun and informative show for fathers and the women who tolerate and/or love them. Humorous tips and advice on parenting, fatherhood, children, and coping with wives and mothers. Tune in as the Dads tackle the issues of today: from breast feeding in public to head lice to poop in the tub."

This is a large collection of video reviews, interviews and articles with a mix of humour and serious advice similar to DadsDinner. There's a blog as well, if your internet connection isn't up to video (or your kids are screaming too loud for you to hear).

Stay at Home Dads.co.uk

The UK based website for dads everywhere. News, articles, money advice, gadget reviews and places to share and rant. Definitely worth checking out. The article on the pros and cons of being a housedad is particularly informative.

at home dad

A light-hearted but relatively factual US blog. Contains advice on parenting and commentary on news items relevant to housedads. Links to lots of other sites. Oh, and the guy in charge has written an actual housedad's handbook.

Fathers Direct

Fathers Direct is the national information centre on fatherhood. 'Here to help you harness the full potential of fatherhood with news, training information, policy updates, research summaries and guides for supporting fathers and their families.' Dull as it sounds but there's plenty of information here.

Families Need Fathers

Families Need Fathers is a registered charity providing support to divorced and separated parents, irrespective of gender or marital status, on shared parenting issues arising from family breakdown. Their primary concern is to maintain the child's relationship with both parents.

BBC Parenting

Straightforward and well-presented articles on many aspects of becoming a dad and having small children.

General Parenting

The Baby Book

A one-stop location for baby-related information divided up to deliver the right info at the right time. Put together by a health visitor who knows what she's doing. Result!

OurMilkMoney.com

A directory of self-employed parents set up to help you choose local products and services which contribute to supporting a family. The listings are US only but there's also a blog and a very handy catalogue of online resources. These are worth checking out if you have (or want) your own business, wherever you are.

Heart & Home

DadsDinner is about survival and gadgets. Heart & Home is about family adventures, craftwork and chocolate. Think of it as a complementary source of ideas.

babyworld

Articles, advice, product tests and forums. Be warned: everything is pink and purple, and even the fatherhood forum is full of mums.

Ask Moxie

An American mom answers questions on child-rearing. She's pretty on the ball and there's a good back-catalogue of advice.

Computer Games

Eurogamer

News and reviews. Tidy and friendly compared to other sites.

CVG

This is where I look when I'm bored and there's nothing new on Eurogamer.

Amusing

xkcd

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, maths and language. (No, really).

defective yeti

Random musings of an amusing guy.

Laid-Off Dad

No longer laid-off but still a dad.

The Road Less Traveled

The honest and funny blog of a Californian mom. She has a househusband. See things from the other side...

Other
