It seems that stay at home Dads are getting quite a bit of press. Yesterday on CNN they did a short piece and on Yahoo they posted a full article http://finance.yahoo.com/news/stay-home-dads-rise-091800594.html;_ylc=X3oDMTNudmU5MmVpBF9TAzExODMzMDk3NjkEYWN0A21haWxfY2IEY3QDYQRpbnRsA3VzBGxhbmcDZW4tVVMEcGtnAzA3YzVhNTIzLWQ3ZjQtMzkyMS1iZmY0LTMxOGJlY2M4MTczMwRzZWMDbWl0X3NoYXJlBHNsawNtYWlsBHRlc3QD;_ylv=3
I think it is great that we are getting more attention and we are being seen as valid caregivers to our children. I didn't like the attitude of the CNN anchor who laughed and seemed rather amused that Dads make good parents. She finally added that she guessed Dads were important. This is an attitude that needs to change. While some Dads stay at home out of need, more are staying home because they want to.
In NYC there is a whole group of Dads, 550, that are part of the New York City Dads Meetup group http://www.meetup.com/New-York-City-Dads-Meetup-Group/
I am looking forward to taking the kids to our first meetup tomorrow.
