OK … I admit it: I wasn’t looking hard enough for good at-home dad stories. The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel has a nifty piece (in all fairness, it was first published in the Baltimore Sun) on a new book on how manipulative at-home wives can try to boost their husband’s incomes. As well as a general broadside against the general topic, the author lets go with this doozy: “In a truly egalitarian society, men shouldn’t have to apologize for wanting to stay home, for daring to see a life outside the office, for dreaming the impossible dream.”
And … and … Canada’s National Post has a four-part series (read the first installment here) on a reporter who decided to take advantage of new rules allowing up to 35 weeks of paternity leave. To be honest, I don’t have the time now to plow through the series (maybe by tomorrow). Speed readers are encouraged to share their thoughts with me.
