New York City's local ABC station checked in with a nice at-home father report tied to the state of the economy.

The report focused on a gentleman named Norman Marzan (not to be confused with more-famous at-home father Joe Mozian). The best bit from the story: "Norman's advice? If you're strong enough from within to fight societal pressures, then in time you'll see the payoff in your child."

Damn right.

One other note: the report was titled "One Local Family Shows Us Why They Chose An Increasingly Common Lifestyle," but never gets into why this is an "increasingly common lifestyle." Rebel Dad is fascinated by the idea that we're a growing bunch, but the way the government tracks this stuff is woefully inadequate. Beers to anyone who can describe where we are and where we're going, numberwise, better than the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
