Superdad.com.au is all about the joys, challenges and lessons of being a bloke in the role of primary caregiver.

From January to December 2009 I had the pleasure of being at home with my eldest son, Austin, for months nine to 19 of his young life. It was a blast, but it wasn't all easy.

This site captures it all. From self-feeding to potting training; the politics of playgroup and the suspicious looks from all those mums on the high street. There's recipes, activities and road trips. There's SAHD news from around the world. There's things not to do on online auctions - no matter how long your child's afternoon sleep.

It may inform, inspire or amuse. Heck, it might just do all three.

Singapore's Telly Daddy Conspiracy

Singapore has a new television sensation - a show all about a stay-at-home dad.

Or so it has been reported by Star Gazing, one of several blogs featured in the online edition of Singapore's Today newspaper.

Of course, the network which airs the show is part of the same government-owned entity that owns Today - a free paper handed out primarily at government owned MRT stations.

Not that this means anything. Although it might. Just look at the main character.

Look at him, that is, and consider that this is supposed to be a drama. Hard to imagine when he looks like a cross between one of Microsoft's pointy hats and a Florida retiree.

The perm? The paunch? The shirt? The bag?

The government conspiracy to embarrass stay-at-home dads into returning to the workplace?

Then again, maybe just a case of cultural differences. I'll let you be the judge.
