it works the same as stay at home mum's they can get child tax credits as they will be the main career and child benefits, but it depends on how much there oh earns to whether they will get income support, if its over £16,000 then they will get nothin n the child tax credits go down the more the oh earns

HTH

im going to be a stay at home dad myself and im really looking forward to it i like the idea of the father looking after the baby and doing the stuff around the house and all that but jeremy kyle nah i wont be watching that. lol

im sure that u can clain somthing for being a stay at hime dad cause tbh woman get money for it so why cant men same thing isnt it i think we will be looking into it ourselfs and seeing what we can claim.

he will be intitles to income support. jsut like a stay at home mum. i wouldnt get a job to do tho lol previous poster was right . he wont have time, bless him!!

Oh yeah - forgot he is a rubbish multi-tasker! **

Being a stay at home dad will be his job. After doing all the laundry (babies stuff in non-bio), washing up, cleaning, hoovering, dusting, mopping, feeding, sterilising, bathing, napping changing, ironing, tidying, playing with baby, and watching Jeremy Kyle, how on earth is he going to do a job? Who will be looking after baby when he's 'working'? And men cant multi-task!

Also, does anyone know of any jobs he could do from home? **

Hi all, I had my baby in January. I am returning to work in July and my husband will be a stay at home dad. Does anyone know whether he will be entitled to any benefits? Thanks **
