The Most Over-The-Top Dad's Day Headline- June 26, 2008 "When Daddy is a Domestic God"Hey -- props to the dads in the article, who all seem like stand-up guys. But "domestic gods"http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/most-over-top-dads-day-headline.html New Outlet at the WashingtonPost.com- June 25, 2008 Those of you who follow my other online endeavors may have noticed that the other blog I contribute to, On Balance at washingtonpost.com, is officially on hiatus, and my run over there is over. What this means for you is that I may let more of the work-life balance stuff spill over to rebeldad.com, so if you see stuff that I should be looking at on that topic, please let me know.But the nice folks over at washingtonpost.com were nice enough to let me start contributing to On Parenting, the...http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/new-outlet-at-washingtonpostcom.html First of the Dad's Day Deluge- June 23, 2008 Boy, am I ever running behind. Here's the first of a handful of posts on interesting stuff that's dropped in the past couple of weeks.ABC News tackles at-home dads. Though they use the standard "Mr. Mom" clips, they get credit for using convention-goer and great guy Caleb Cohen as the centerpiece of the story and bonus points for getting Aaron Rochlen on screen.The St. Paul Pioneer Press ran a whole piece on local at-home dad bloggers. It used to be that reporters had a hard time finding local..http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/first-of-dads-day-deluge.html Apologies.- June 21, 2008 Every two or three years, the annual domain name renewal sneaks up on me, and the site goes dark briefly while I struggle to get my paperwork in order. Each time this happens, I feel worse, and I'm sorry to waste the time of those of you who came across the site, only to get a server-not-available message.Posting will resume ASAP, and I thank you for your patience. -- Brianhttp://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/apologies.html (Untitled)- June 18, 2008 Aaron Rochlen from the University of Texas is -- in addition to being a great guy -- has done some really wonderful work (and some of the first work) in trying to understand who at-home dads are and what drives them. So when Aaron sent along details on his latest research effort, I told him I would absolutely pass it along to you. If you're an at-home father, please consider giving Aaron 15 minutes of your time to help this study along:Dear Stay at home Fathers,I am recruiting participants for..http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/aaron-rochlen-from-university-of-texas.html Don't Argue With This Feminist- June 18, 2008 Lisa Belkin put up a post today on her new Equal Parenting blog in the New York Times that is notable for two reasons. The first is that it covers formal contracts for the division of household labor, an old idea that still has a lot of relevance to any of us interested in having egalitarian relationships. The second is that the post was inspired by work done by my wife, Beth, who teaches Family Law and Sex-Based Discrimination. As part of those classes, she leads her students through the...http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/smartest-law-professor-i-know.html Save the World and Improve Work-Life Balance- June 17, 2008 Over at On Balance, I have to restrain myself from talking about the wonders of flexible scheduling and telework, lest I bore the natives. But this is just too good not to reference: Sun Microsystems says that teleworking is an incredibly green way to work: Employees saved more than $1,700 per year in gasoline and wear and tear on their vehicles by working at home an average of 2.5 days a week. Office equipment energy consumption rate at a Sun office was.http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/save-world-and-improve-work-life.html Thanks a Lot, NYT- June 16, 2008 I have plenty to post from yesterday (and before), but I'm presently working on this week's On Balance piece (a reaction to the NYT Magazine "equally shared parenting" cover story), when I realized exactly what the tagline was on that cover story:Will Dad Ever Do His ShareWay to keep the faith, NY Times headline writers. Did you even read the storyhttp://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/thanks-lot-nyt.html Father's Day and Drinking From a Firehose- June 13, 2008 In year's past, I have made a valiant attempt to use this site to link to every single at-home dad-related Father's Day news story I could find, a job that becomes bigger and bigger every year. This year, I'm not even going to try to keep up. I'll write on anything that catches my eye, but I have no illusions about being comprehensive.But -- by all means -- please let me know if you or your group gets profiled or you see coverage of fatherhood that is truly extraordinary, and I'll do my best to.http://www.rebeldad.com/2008/06/fathers-day-and-drinking-from-firehose.html |
