The Dads from L-R: Laren, Jim and Dan

Statistics vary depending on the source, but in the United States, stay-at-home-dads number somewhere between over 600,000 and upto 2 million. Jeremy Adam Smith, author of the book, The Daddy Shift, says it’s a cultural shift that’s happening in all sorts of families across America regardless of religion, race and ethnicity.

These guys are the new frontier of manhood, and they’re loving it (most of the time!) — Laurel Moglen, Managing Web Editor, TMC
