We interrupt our usual bashing of childrearing magazines for this month’s Parents magazine. A few things are worth noting: 1) Parents has a “Dads” page every month. I just started getting the magazine, and I like even that small space. 2) They published a letter from an at-home dad praising the at-home-dads-are-cool story of a couple of months ago. (“Thanks for acknowledging that dads are parents too — it’s great to be recognized.”) So a big shout-out to Kevin Rohrman, the letter writer. 3) Finally, in their wrapup of what’s going on at the Parents.com site, they mention two posts by at-home moms decrying the idea of calling it “babysitting” when a man takes care of the kids. (The second post is a little snotty, but I’ll let it go.)

And in the celeb files, Anne Heche apparently has an at-home husband, a guy named Coleman Laffoon. Who knew?
