This post is not meant to dismiss stay at home dads or any hands-on work outside the home parent as needing a list of ideas, but to respond to the fact that (like or not) in many areas stay at home moms are often the primary provider, and sometimes they might need to give their partner a list of ideas to get some time alone in the house.
My husband is in charge of the kids a lot while I work in the evening or on the weekends. They like to go…
- on hikes with the dog
- to the river (with nets)
- to any park
- play at the mall
- grocery shopping
- to the pet store to look at animals
However, they spend most of their time together right here at home searching YouTube for cute videos of kids singing Raffi songs, playing with our pet rats, and helping my husband re-learn to play the guitar
