Competent Parent: Warmup Exercise

We just assembled the pile of stuff to pack for Charlie's first week at sleepaway camp. Why does it feel like tomorrow we'll be assembling a much larger pile for his departure for college?

Why Competent Parent?

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.
