stay-at-home fathers

Childcare-focused papas

Stay-at-home fathers are men who serve as the primary caregivers for their children while their partners work outside the home.

The term emerged as more families reversed traditional gender roles: He became a stay-at-home father when his wife's career took off.

Sometimes shortened to stay-at-home dads or SAHDs.
