At-home dads in the news today: Jeff Menard.
Also noteworthy: somewhere north of Philly, there’s a “Men’s Gathering” with a session on “Mr. Mom - Men as Child Rearers.” As cliched as anything having to do with the phrase “Mr. Mom” is, it is nice to see that kind of support. The focus on the meeting is on support, reducing the isolation that men can face.
Still, annual gatherings can do only so much for connectedness — even regular At-Home Dad Convention goers report isolation as their biggest issue. The Internet is clearly a great connective tool, and the Dad-to-Dad groups are a powerful force, but I’d love to hear from anyone with innovative ways to keep fathers connected to one another.
