I was all set to get literary today: I finished 20 Days with Julian & Little Bunny by Papa, an account by Nathaniel Hawthorne of his adventures in stay-at-home parenting. But I'm afraid that post will have to wait.

The nice folks at the Wall Street Journal published this story (paid subscription required) (update: article posted free of charge here) on at-home dads re-entering the workforce. Any time the nation's largest newspaper puts at-home dads on a section front, it's a big news day at Rebel Dad central.

The take-away is that as more at-home dads enter the workforce, both the prospective employees and their would-be employers are trying to figure out what to make of experience running a household. The conclusions aren't startling: headhunters think it's a liability, less so when the person doing the hiring is a woman. But the relieving part of the story is that the author, Kemba J. Dunham, takes a tack that suggests holding at-home fatherhood against job candidates may be real, but it's certainly not a fair or effective way to find the best workers.

(It should be noted that Dunham gets a plug in for this year's at home-dads convention. Rebel Dad will be there. Will you?)
