Who am I
I’m Ray, better known as @Remys_Dad and I am also Theo’s dad. I’m a stay-at-home/ work-at-home dad, along with a list of other things: I cook (professionally and personally), I clean, I travel, I research, and I help moms and dads find the parenting information they need.
In 2015, I found out that I was going to become a dad – the best job ever! From day one, I was excited to learn everything I could about being a good parent. From the moment I saw the pregnancy test, I started reading and researching all of the content that I could find; I needed to know how I could get things done around the house with a new baby.
Similar to a number of parents, I decided to become a parent later in life. I knew how important the first few years of a child’s development is and I wanted to be able to stay at home with my children. Stay-at-home dad? Hell yes, stay-at-home dad. I have been blessed with the ability to work from home and I believe that raising children is the most important job a parent could have. So yes, I am a stay-at-home dad.
We all know that motherhood is a beautiful gift. It is also hard, scary, and a plethora of other things. Parenting is traditionally the responsibility of the mother. I feel that fathers should become more active in taking care of their children. I believe in parenting diversity and that jobs and toys should not be gender specific. I also believe in promoting kindness to make this planet a better place.
I am not a celebrity dad nor do I post dad jokes. I think parenting is hard, fun, painful, and rewarding. I think dad jokes diminish the value of dads taking the job as a parent seriously.
What is on this website
The information on Dads in the House is focused on providing research based parenting topics which include positive parenting articles, parenting struggles that affect fathers and mothers, tips on family travel, and real food advice to help with wellness and nutrition.
Since I had such a difficult time finding the content that I needed for new parents, my intention for this website is to research and provide that content– create a resource – to help other parents that wanted to read non-judgmental parenting tips.

How did this all start?
It all started like this – I have always wanted to blog about travel and food. However, after deciding to have a baby, I set out to research everything I could find on parenting, specifically, how to be a good stay-at-home dad. As I searched for books and blog posts, I realized that there was a lack of good information and sound advice on being a new dad and navigating the struggles of everyday life; most of the books were outdated or only addressed the comedic side of fatherhood.
One well-meaning book, focused on how to be a stay-at-home dad, said, “clean your house so that you’ll make your wife happy.” Let’s face it, a parent (mom or dad) cleans their house because they want and need to provide a healthy and safe environment for their child and/or family. Bottom line, our job as parents is to take care of our families. We are our child’s first teacher, their protectors, and their role models.
My frustrations with weeding through the “best concealer to use for my tired eyes” and the “Top 5 Skinny Jeans to Rock That Dad Bod” types of posts led me to assembling a team of incredible parents (mostly moms and a few dads) to help create educational content related to the same parenting struggles we all face. Thus, DadsintheHouse.com was born.
How Does Dads in the House Help You?
DadsintheHouse.com combines my years of culinary, nutrition, and travel experience with global research on parenting topics to bring you the resources needed to make your best parenting decisions.
We will share information on homeschooling, world-schooling, and language learning for your multicultural/ multilingual children. We will also share tips on how to grow, cook, and eat organic, real foods and how to prepare meals when someone in the family has food allergies. Along the way, we will post advice on family travel with an infant or toddler, plus some wellness topics.
Thank you for joining us on this journey and allowing us to help you navigate the parenting struggles of everyday life. Happy parenting!
