I love TodaysDaddy! ☺ I have to tell you that I notice it everywhere I go. The other day I took my kids to get their hair cut at “Cookie Cutters” (obviously a hair cut place for kids) and believe it or not I was the only mother there. There were 4 other dads who had brought their kids in that afternoon for hair cuts and I literally stood alone as the only mom in the place!
This was followed by a visit to the pediatrician’s office where there were 6 – yes count them 6 dads who had accompanied their children to their visit and there were just 2 of us moms in the room flying solo for our visit. (and I have to admit that the majority of the time my husband comes with me anyway – because my daughter won’t let anyone look in her ears unless he’s there).
We hear it all of the time that dad’s are stepping up and spending more time than ever with their kids and I’m so lucky to be married to one of them. I loved this recent article from the Washington Post – which sited the fact that dad’s today have literally tripled the amount of time they spend with their kids compared to our own parents. Check out a few more great articles about dads on the Buzz section of TodaysMama this week -- "Why Dads Matter" and "Momblocked".
As much as we hear about todays mothers and how we’ve been able to change the way we operate – (think the huge mompreneur trend). Much of this couldn’t be done without great daddys behind the scenes. And those who do it without the help of a great father and husband – those are the women who deserve the most applause in the world because I couldn’t do a fraction of what I do without the help of my husband – who is the best dad on the planet.
So – let’s just say – Happy Father’s Day! Dad’s ROCK! ☺
