Babble Investigates the Relationships of Stay-At-Home Moms & Dads

Babble, posted up their father's day feature story today. It's not your heartwarming or compelling story about how dad is the greatest. Nope, Babble questions whether having cute stay at home dads is a problem in Playdates With Other People's Husbands? by Jamie Rich. At the center of this article is an issue that merits some discussion - is it uncomfortable for a stay-at-home-mom to have a one-on-one playdate with an at-home-dad?

One mom admitted, that the situation could be uncomfortable.
“I don't call [SAHDs] for one-on-one activities the way I do the moms. It feels awkward to me, too intimate, to have some dude lounging on the floor in my living room chatting about diapers and toddler feeding,” she told me.

I prefer to hang during the week with a gaggle of dads, but still frequently make local playdates with my mom friends. These playdates occur at a public location like an indoor playgym or local playground so I haven't been confronted with a one-on-one in a more intimate setting.

Isn't it all about the adult interaction and opportunities for our children to interact with other kids? I am interested to hear some dads (or moms) weigh in with their opinions- are you uncomfortable with a one-on-one playdate with an at-home parent of the opposite sex?
