Google Fight re-visited - a year ago I noticed the term "At-Home Dad" finally edged out "Mr Mom " 484,000 to 452,000 in google search comparing the two. I've checked back now and then and have noticed this morning check shows Mr Mom being outnumbered 350 to 17. (Different search criteria I know but the ratio is there)
The reason? I would bet "Mr Mom" is being used more when older dads and relatives are describing them(selves) and less from the X-Gen.. For example:
