Between the start of the annual flu season at the Rebel Dad headquarters, the piling on of assorted small tasks and preparations for this weekend's convention, I can hardly keep straight what I've been planning on writing about. So apologies in advance for jumping around (and liberal use of parenthesis).

Let's see ... American Baby magazine ran this piece on their website, which, while not the worst piece ever written on at-home fathers, could be the laziest. Best part of the story: the auto-generated disclaimer at the bottom of the page: "The information on this Web site is designed for educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care." Remember, don't try this at-home dad stuff before talking to your doctor.

I said I wouldn't blog on the gawd-awful New York Magazine cover story from last week. Instead, let me point you to an insightful post from the Ms. Magazine blog. (It's a two-fer ... the gawd-awful NYT magazine piece of last month takes some more lumps, too.)

Finally, the Jackson, Mississippi Clarion-Ledger ran this Gannett News Service story on whether work is becoming more family friendly (you'll have to ignore the headline, which was clearly written by someone who didn't read the story ...) There's no clear answer, but Julie Shields, author of How to Avoid the Mommy Trap says she's optimistic, in part because of Rebel Dads. (As an aside, Shields is looking for paternity leave stories on her message board).
