Bright Lights (of Parenthood) in New York
Posted on 10. Jul, 2009 by Brian Reid in General
This is a can’t miss event if you’re a resident of the greater tri-state area: Jeremy Adam Smith (who I love) and Amy Richards (who also rocks) at the 92YTribeca on July 22. Good stuff:
In cooperation with 92Y Parenting Center and NYC Dads GroupA revealing talk with audience discussion on a growing phenomenon among American families: fathers who cut back on paid work to focus on raising children. Explore with Jeremy Adam Smith, journalist and author of The Daddy Shift and Amy Richards, author of Opting In: Having a Child without Losing Yourself, what happens when dads stay home; What do stay-at-home fathers struggle with—and what do they rejoice in? How does taking up the mother’s traditional role affect a father’s relationship with his partner, children and extended family? And what does stay-at-home fatherhood mean for the larger society?

Being a stay at home Dad is the first band wagon I can remember being excited about jumping on.

I’m loving your blog. Thanks. I’ve just started my parenting blog, but let me know if I can put you on my blogroll. Any shift toward fathers spending more time with their children is fantastic. One thing that’s no often talked about is how this will positively filter down into the next generation: ie, it will normalise the idea for our boys and they, in turn, will spend more time with their own children.
