Check out the videos page for news reports about stay-at-home dads. These links are for TV shows portraying stay-at-home dads. By the way, the producers of various reality shows regularly contact us looking for a family with a stay-at-home dad who is willing to open their lives or home to the show. If you're interested, and if any of these shows are still being produced, get in touch with them and make them an offer. Some of the shows pay a stipend for appearing.

    • The Burnetts are in over their heads. With five kids, including Zachary, 8, and two sets of twins -- Joseph and John, 3, and Michael and Molly, 16 months. This is a family consumed by chaos. A self-employed, stay-at-home dad, Michael, is struggling to find a balance between work and family.

    • The Uva boys, Trevor (7) and Travis (4), disrespect authority figures, curse, insult and bully their classmates. They expect their parents to do everything for them -- in fact, the seven-year-old insists his mom help him go to the potty. Mom Rosemary owns and operates a pre-school full time, and is too tired by day's end to give her boys the attention and love they desperately need. She craves more help from her husband, John, a stay-at-home dad who is admittedly clueless and detached from his sons. He brings them to Rosemary's pre-school every day because he doesn't know what else to do with them. The boys have gained a reputation for being the worst behaved kids there, and their parents have essentially given up.
