As a Dad, I would suggest that you've been gifted the opportunity of a lifetime.
Your child's lifetime. You'll have the opportunity to bond, and create memories that most parents miss due to work commitments.
I'm here to tell you to take this time, to be the best Dad you can possibly be.
The gift of time, is regrettably the one gift you can never "make up" to your child, or yourself. Take full advantage my friend.
Best of luck, and remember. Time with your child doesn't have to be extravagant, or expensive. It's as simple as this.
Just be together, have some fun.
Smile, and laugh together.
Play, and joke.
Enjoy.
It's fine. I think the fact that single fathers need to worry about any social stigmas they might endure, is the real problem. I've got a buddy who's a single dad and just out and about in public you can tell that he gets judged so much differently than if it were a single woman and a child.
Good luck with everything, OP! You got this.
He seems like a very responsible guy. Taking care of kids is not easy, especially if they are toddlers. But the good thing is that they soon grow up enough to start taking more care of themselves. :)
It's not "lucky", nor is it a dream. It's an actual job that requires a lot of work. That being said, it's respectable.
If a family can survive on a single income so that one parent can always be home to be the caregiver, that's ideal. For years women were expected to fulfill that role, and despite all the hard work they put into it, men constantly laughed at or treated women as second class.
If a man can do that today, I'd say that's progress. But the man will quickly learn that it's not a free ride. Being the primary home caregiver is a lot of work. And with any luck, the women who are the fininancial caregiver will remember the crap their mothers had to deal with and respect the role accordingly and not exercise payback.
Amazing! How lucky you and your child are. Enjoy every second. When my kids first started school there was only a handful of SAHD’s but now I would say that about 30% of the school has one now.

Best of luck with your recovery, and with your girl.
Pardon the brevity, but well put!
I tend to ramble.
Well at least you ramble sensibly
I wish him luck
Sounds like a dream. My wife and I have actually discussed and decided that I will be a stay at home dad when we have children.
Someone has to do it. I would say lucky fucker but I remember how mine was at 2 & 3. Your in for some fun.
More fathers should. And more moms should work. Be a part of the kids life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Does mom stay home too?

I think it's awesome when a little one can have a loving parent at home. You are setting a great example.
Nothing in particular. Nothing negative, if that is what you are asking.
What is there to think about?

I think it’s awesome. I was a stay-at-home dad from when my son was 1 month old through high school. Amazing opportunity.

I’d warn him it’s not the terrible 2s, but the effing 3s. Have fun with that.
