Maine, the magazine features poetry, essays, and parenting advice. A recent issue included a poetic account of a father's experience waking up at night to tend to his ill child. Another feature told the tale of a dad taking his son to his first day of kindergarten. David Boylan, a former actor who started the chat sessions, believes dads like him have a responsibility as crusaders as well as caretakers. More than anything else, men like Boylan want people to know they aren't just sitting home with the kids because they can't get a real job.
Recent research backs that up.
For today's at-home dads, those findings may be as comforting as a child's favorite security blanket. Inc. All rights reserved.
