<p>I know there are men that stay home and do this, it doesn&#8217;t always click in my mind until I hear of one. Don&#8217;t get me wrong though because I know many that do: John Chow, Garry Conn, Darren Rowse, etc. But for some reason when I think of all these guys I just don&#8217;t think of them as guys, or girls even but equal. You know they all do the same stuff but when you hear of a show like, &#8220;Househusbands of Hollywood&#8221; you actually picture big buffy men holding these tiny little babies and freaking out over poop in diapers. Right?</p>
<p>Well there is going to be a reality show of five husbands in Hollywood and how they get along as dads, being home or being a househusband as they call them and everything else that goes along with being a reality tv show. Would you watch this?</p>
<p>The husband and myself got to talking and while he said no way, I think I&#8217;ll watch a webisode or two just to see. I mean there&#8217;s like 15 million desperate housewives shows and just this one dad one, someone needs to support them right?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read that they are going to try portraying the men as positive and not in a negative light. I know some of those housewives shows had them sleeping around and such, so I can&#8217;t wait to see this. I really hope they do a good show and I&#8217;d like to see being a house spouse and not just some Manny.  Good luck guys! If you do watch this please come back here and let me know what you thought of Househusbands in Hollywood.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a small clip:

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Parenting Teen&#8217;s author Gayle, I now have another great resource site to fully explore &#8211; Dads &#38; Daughters. The mission of the site is to help foster the relationship between Fathers and their Daughters.
In addition to many helpful articles and resources, there is a quiz that Dads can take &#8211; kind of like a scorecard &#8211; to help identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in the relationship.  Here are a few of the yes or no questions:
