Mr. Mom
This year “Mr. Mom” has a new meaning. The phrase used to just refer to the movie, a funny, cute 80’s flick that showed all the chaos that ensues when a father loses his job and stays home with the kids. Twenty years later there are more “Mr. Moms” than ever.
This year “Mr. Mom” has a new meaning. The phrase used to just refer to the movie, a funny, cute 80’s flick that showed all the chaos that ensues when a father loses his job and stays home with the kids. Twenty years later there are more “Mr. Moms” than ever. Why? It was reported that this year, for the first time in history, there are more women in the workforce than men. This means there are more and more husbands stepping into the role of the stay at home parent, caring for their children and household responsibilities; in fact becoming “Mr. Mom”. Just like in the movie this trend is largely the result of unemployment. During the recent recession 3 men lost their job to every 1 woman leaving a significantly higher percentage of women employed and bringing in steady paychecks. The decision for many families was an easy one. The parent with the job works and the parent who is looking for work stays at home with the kids.
This role reversal is working well and many moms and dads are enjoying the change of pace. However, with the sky high cost of food and gas many families find one paycheck just isn’t enough. For this reason many stay at home dads are trying to find a way to earn money at home while taking care of the kids and other household responsibilities. Although there are many choices of work from home businesses most are geared towards women. For example, “Mr. Mom” could become a consultant selling any of the following products: jewelry, make up or home furnishings but more often than not, these consultants (and their clients) are women. Are there any options for a man?
Of course there are! You just have to know what to look for. One niche that many men seem to enjoy is fundraising. Not only is this a niche many men enjoy but there is a huge demand for fundraising activities. Many states have made drastic budget cuts to their schools leaving many of them desperate for fundraisers throughout the year. Call a local school and talk to a coach, teacher or member of the PTA. They will most likely jump at the chance to have a unique and profitable fundraiser.
