I’ve never been mistaken for a male nanny, despite my regular efforts to dress like the 19-year-old skate punk I once was. Apparently, ATD Kristopher Kaiyala isn’t so lucky. He pens a piece on MSN about the comments at-home dads get when they’re out and about (“Babysitting today?” etc.) It’s nothing that hasn’t been said before, and I actually cringed a bit when I read it. I think one of the surest signs that the at-home dad revolution is upon us will occur when no father is ever be assumed to be anything but the kid’s caregiver. So it looks like we have a little further to go.
Finally, the Zero Boss, one of the most popular and thoughtful daddy blogs, is shutting down his blog. Jay, who will continue to write — just not as personally — at Blogging Baby, will be sorely missed.
There’s a new addition to the RebelDad line of swag. Fellow AHD Convention-goes Dayv has begun production of laser-engraved RebelDad flasks. Four-ounce flasks are $15.95. Eight-ounce flasks are $16.95, and 12-ounce flasks are $18.95. $3.00 shipping. (Additional details here.) If you’re interested, contact Dayv directly at dglusing@lumenlaser.com. In the same spirit of rampant consumerism, the RebelDad store is having a two-day sale: save $5 on orders of $20 or more (code HOL5) and $10 on orders of $40 or more (code HOL10).

Jeff, you are a certified loon. I am merely anxious to proudly display my RD sticker on the back of my AHD mobile.
Thanks RD! I look forward to slapping that baby right on my cage.
