Leave it to radio to get things right. Talk of the Nation's bit on at-home dads seems quite nice, sympathetic, honest. But you could almost here the desperation in the callers' voices -- "Thank you for bringing up this subject," they kept saying, celebrating the fact that because a national outlet was talking about the subject, at-home fatherhood become a teeny, tiny bit more socially normal.

I was only able to half-listen to the segment, and I'll throw up a link in the next day or two for those of you who also need to hear an encore presentation before opining.

I need to get to a blog roundup one of these days -- there have been a couple of thoughtful posts from the at-home dads (and sympathizers). But there's one story that my peers have already linked worth noting here. (Thanks to blogathoner Being Daddy and Full Time Father for the heads-up.) Time magazine ran this profile of director Robert Rodriguez that focuses largely on the fact that he's around his kids all the time. Heck, it might be worth seeing Spy Kids just to support this kind of behavior.
