Tim McMichael has been a stay-at-home dad since the fall of 2017. He is the father to six amazing kids and the husband to a beautiful Native American nurse.
Tim came into this role as an at-home dad when his niece and two nephews needed a safe and loving home. At the time, he was a web monkey for a fortune 500 company while his wife was an RN, BSN, and PHN on the Indian Reservation they live near. Needless to say, she had a greater income, but he could also work from home and be pickier with his clients. After a three-year custody battle, Tim and his wife obtained custody of their niece and nephews.
Tim found The National At-Home Dad Network (NAHDN) early in his stay-at-home dad adventure. He also discovered another organization called the FATHER Project. With both NADHN and FATHER Project on his side, Tim found a place to ask for help. Tim appreciates and respects the legacy of the NAHDN. He has great relationships with dads through this organization both online and by attending HomeDadCon.
Tim has learned that being a stay-at-home dad is not easy. He is his kid's support and spiritual scratching post, especially with an autistic son. With COVID, the world has become even more stressful. But one thing he appreciates is having his brotherhood of fatherhood to fall back upon for support.
