Happy SAHD – A Documentary

Found at the At Home Dad site (which appears to be Angelfire now), a link to a new documentary about 12 Baltimore Stay At Home Dads, premiering this Sunday:

What happens when a family decides that Dad will stay at home with the kids while Mom works? SAHDs (Stay-At-Home Dads) are a growing trend in our culture. This new documentary by award winning Baltimore filmmaker Michael Ivan Schwartz, Happy SAHD follows a dozen Baltimore-area fathers who have chosen for a variety of reasons to be the daily caregiver for their children. This illuminating and humorous movie reveals the every day life trials, tribulations and triumphs of these unique men living outside the norm.

Happy SAHD.

I like that.

I never particularly liked the “SAHD” acronym, as it just sounds so, um, sad. That’s one reason why I named this site “At Home Father”. Better yet would be “Stay At Home Father”, or SAHF. Isn’t “safe” better than “sad”? But, the URL for stayathomefather.com was taken, so I settled on this site. More on this another day.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing this documentary posted online at some point. Check out the preview:
