A Must-Read Piece on At-Home Fatherhood
Posted on 18. Jan, 2006 by Brian Reid in General
I’ll get right back on the convention thing (please keep the ideas flowing at the convention 2006 wiki), but I need to flag a great piece of writing on stay-at-home dads. Longtime dad Buzz McClain’s piece in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on what he’s learned during his career as a dad is priceless. Buzz is a fantastic guy and one hell of a role model. Fatherhood changes men for the better, and Buzz is walking proof.
Also: Greg from Daddy Types has published the most extraordinary Google Maps mashup I’ve ever seen: a map of NYC men’s restrooms with changing tables. I’m speechless.

Real nice piece by Buzz McClain. I could relate to every word of it. Helping the kids with the homework realy stood out for me. When helping my son with spelling and grammer I can’t help but think that the English language has to be the most confusing of all. With all the quirky rules it has, I guess we are just better off accepting them at a young age as opposed to questioning it too much. He has been at this for twice as long as I have. I also hope to catch up to him in the cooking department. The little ones tastes are starting to change for the better. Well done Buzz.

Yes! Brilliant. I like the part about the children’s mom also being his wife, girlfriend and mistress. This is true in our house too!
Like Buzz and his wife, Tina and I also date a lot. It keeps our romance alive. The great thing about dating is that I get to use Tina’s money.
Keep writing Buzz!
KOD,
