I've noticed that the simple, inexpensive plastic pants hangers that work have DISAPPEARED from the stores. It's very, very annoying. Paige's suggestions don't begin to cut it. The hangers I refer to have been replaced by clunky, too-thick and more expensive wooden ones with a plastic folding mechanism that SUCKS. It comes apart easily but doesn't go back together easily. I don't know what happened but it's the pits.
Here's the sucky mechanism I refer to: http://www.amazon.com/Vinyl-Coated-Non-Slip-Pant-Hangers/dp/B000S2NNZE Apparently you can get pants hangers that fall apart in plastic too. This is more like the old mechanism that just works, but not exactly the same, plus you have to buy them in cedar at 3/$20: http://www.hangercity.com/cedpanhanset.html
The name of this blog is a political statement about fatherhood. Regardless of the progress toward gender equality that has occurred over the last several decades, one stereotype persists and may be getting worse: moms are good parents and dads are incompetent boobs who sometimes babysit. Poppycock, I say. Or an excuse for dads who would like to be viewed as numskulls so that they don't have to parent their kids. Dads are parents too, and I know some who are very good at it.
I'm neither a stay-at-home dad nor do I work full time. I work part time, and I'm the primary parent for the foreseeable future. The primary competent parent, I hope it is not presumptuous to say.

I think we feel each other's pain.
Here's a hilarious spam comment that blogger's spam-catcher caught:
"It’s onerous to find educated folks on this topic, however you sound like you realize what you’re talking about! Thanks"
Glad this bot realizes that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to pants hangers.
