Christine was reading an article about how fathers in this age are taking on more responsibility with the raising of there children.  a generation ago fathers where the bread winners and would come home and deal out punishment for what the children did through the day.  Just wait till you father gets home!  That was then.  Now fathers our tending to their children in a more motherly type role.  What used to be deemed motherly duties are shared between parents.  Notice how there are now mens diaper bags and changing stations in the mens rooms?  all recent things.  I hadn’t thought of it to much and I used to laugh when my friend Sam would refer to himself as Auntie Sam.  He sews things for his daughter and even this evening showed off a cute lamb costume he made for Zoe.  Sam is also in charge of Zoe’s nighttime routine including reading her a story.  but I find myself having more in common with him and all our friends who have children.  They are all taking on a more active role than our fathers did with us.  Wierd how things like this change.  I attribute it to the dual income family.  Husbands and wives both have to work so they both have tend to the house and children.  I talk more about my thought on dual income in another post.

Which brings me to the point of this article.  Being a big nerd, from the moment I found out Christine and I where having a baby I   started reading father blogs.  here is a list of the ones I have found entertaining and useful.  I encourage you all that have kids or are going to have kids to look at them.  Tell me what you think!

So while I was driving in traffic I noticed this stupid looking thing next to me and decided to take a picture.  While I have heard of these things on the internet and have seen pictures, this was my first viewing in real life.  I realize the frenzy of going green and the efficiency of more mpg’s but I think this thing looks dumb. I’m still working out an opinion on it but I would like to hear other people thoughts and views on this.  Anywhoo, I have added a new category to my blog where I will ask peoples opinions on certain things and I hope many of you contribute.  The new category is called Public Opinion.
