Family
I like this blog, the attitude, the caring and with such poor oversight on daycare, licensed and unlicensed; and the many sad faces I've seen in day care; the children who've been hurt and those that died to see couples managing and fathers enjoying taking care of their own kids....it is a good feeling.
From the article:
"Acknowledging that being an at-home dad is an economic privilege, most of the dads agreed that if a family is able to afford it, someone – regardless of gender – should stay home with the kids. For men in an ostensibly counter-cultural role, the sentiment felt practically retro. “My wife and I both felt we didn’t want a daycare raising our children,” said Tavill, who quoted Laura Schlesinger’s advice that there should always be a parent present when the child is awake. “We felt that if we had kids, we should raise them,” Ferguson said. These were, on the whole, men who didn’t believe in “outsourcing” (as one dad put it) child rearing."
Enjoy the article.
