stay-at-home dads
Home-based male parents
Stay-at-home dads are fathers who serve as the primary caregiver for their children while their partner works outside the home.
The term mirrors stay-at-home mom but marks a reversal of traditional gender roles: More couples are choosing to have stay-at-home dads when the mother earns more.
The phrase emerged as this arrangement became more common and socially accepted in the late twentieth century.
