This is one of the best intros to an at-home dad story I’ve read in a long time. (From this Wichita Eagle article:
About four years ago, Sam Foster quit his job to stay home with his newborn son, Joel. “You’re so lucky,” his colleagues told him. The unspoken message: You don’t have to slave away at the office anymore. You get to stay home, put your feet up, maybe watch some TV.“If I were to see those people now, I’d say, ‘You were right, I am lucky,’ ” Foster said. “But not for the reasons you think.”
I’ve received word that Being Daddy is doing fine, having made the decision to pour his blogging energies into parenting. I’ll miss the prose, but I can’t fault that decision one bit.

This is from that Eagle article:
[b]On the contrary, when Perrier sees another dad with young children in the grocery store in the middle of the day, “I feel like I should walk up to him and give him my business card or something. Say, ‘Call me. Maybe we could get together.’ But of course I don’t have business cards.”[/b]
Well, why not?

Might make connecting with other dads easier & help give a sense of legitimacy to the job.
