		<description><![CDATA[Stephen, whom I was introduced to through Bruce, seemed to enjoy the opportunity to discuss his time as a dad whilst we sat in the park beside his house, as the home renovations could wait awhile longer. A teacher and more recently the co-author of Man With A Pram: The Bloke&#8217;s Guide shared his views, in retrospect, of his time spent with his daughter. Jules: Could you perhaps start by telling me the motivation to write your book, Man with a Pram&#8230; Maya (his daughter): Do I have to stay here and listen to this? J: No you don’t&#8230; [laughs]. You’ve heard what dad’s had to say? M: [to her two guinea pigs in her arms] Come on. Stephen: There’s an ant on your bum. M: Dad don’t joke. S: Seriously. Just brush it off. J: So what was the motivation to share that information. Why didn’t you just&#8230; S: It was basically&#8230; a friend of mine is a male midwife, so we were having a beer, a sort of men’s group/meeting. J: I’ve been to one of those groups called Beer’n’Bubs&#8230; S: [Smiles] This was just us having a beer. [Laughs] We just called it a men’s group. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an old friend with whom I&#8217;d spent time both in watering holes and stuck on sides of cliffs whilst rock climbing, Bryan was a must to discuss parenting with. One for generally taking things in his stride—and not raising a sweat in the process—Bryan&#8217;s style of parenting was sure to be a breath of fresh air in this time of pushing one&#8217;s child to be the best. Since discussing his approach to being a new stay-at-home dad, his beautiful wife Nola, has given birth to their second son. Congratulations to you both! Jules: If we can just go back a minute to something you were telling me before we started this interview, where you met a couple of people&#8230; Bryan: Yeah, some neighbours down the street, he was fascinated with the concept of being a stay-at-home dad and also with going to playgroups, being around all those mums and how you fit in and all the rest of it. I was actually thinking that it’s interesting because you turn up to playgroups and you’re a minority (being a dad), most other things that you go to there are more males because the mums are all at home. In business, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first interview for this series couldn&#8217;t have been with a nicer guy. Bruce, a father of two vivacious girls, immediately made me welcome in their narrow Newtown terrace. As well as introducing me to his daughters, Ayesha and Rhani, I was immediately brought into the fold, meeting his partner, Cath, and some of their other friends and family members. The ease and candidness with which Bruce spoke of his experiences of being father of two, a business owner and a loving partner (in no particular order), gave me further encouragement to persist and find out even more stories from other dads. Jules: How did it come about that you became the primary carer? What brought you to this arrangement? Bruce: I think your parents have a huge impact on how you parent and my dad was around a lot when I was growing up. Both mum and dad worked as academics&#8230; and so my dad often did more of the parenting &#8216;stuff&#8217; than my mum did. It&#8217;s not that you&#8217;re doing something different it&#8217;s more like you&#8217;re carrying on the possibility. And in the case of me and Cath&#8230; she&#8217;s one of those people that love their work and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that the web site is nearly complete I&#8217;m busy meeting, talking to and photographing other stay-at-home dads. It&#8217;s been an encouraging start with quite a number of dads being very welcoming towards the idea of this documentary project along with individual encouragements from both other parents and even some counsellors I&#8217;ve met along the way. Once I started making enquiries with friends and family as to whether they know of any stay-at-home dads there turned out to be a surprising number of us &#8216;out there&#8217;. Find out more about this project or contact me if you&#8217;re interested in taking part in this documentary.]]></description>
