The other night at our family fun class, I overheard some moms talking about how their husbands absolutely refused to attend or participate in classes such as we were attending.  This seemed both sad and strange to me for many reasons, especially when considering the increase in dads who stay home with their children.  I stumbled upon this article written by a Stay at Home Dad to set the record straight on life as a man who either works at home or stays home with his children.  It offers an enlightening and humorous look at how masculinity and diaper bags can, in fact, exist in the same human. 

Regardless of your own family situation, this article provide insights into fatherhood, and how the model has evolved for the better over the last thirty years.  For example, at the same class we attended where two moms were complaining about their husbands lack of involvement, another dad was there holding his three month old baby while the mom played with the three year old sibling.  In this age where we hear countless public service announcements advocating parental involvement, it is nice to read this article - the author describes a father who is wholly masculine, but is entirely devoted to his family.
