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.

Ugh! This is our life right now. You can't even give one a kiss without giving the other one a kiss immediately after. So it's not a girl thing?
Nope. Not just a girl thing. It's a justice thing. I expect it from the four-year-old, but I get surprised by it from the eight-year-old.
Had a good laugh when I noticed that one bar is a HAIR above the line. I think we're talking about after the Fall, and I don't mean Autumn.
