Getting through the backlog of at-home stories in local papers will take a day or two, so bear with me. I'm not certain what to make of this mini-deluge, but I suppose it can't possibly be anything but a good thing.
Maybe it's the "Meet Mister Mom" effect. This Dallas Morning News story makes a sneering MMM reference at the top of the story, then delves into one of the more complete -- if unfocused -- looks at at-home fatherhood I've seen in a while. The author, David Tarrant, should get extra points for the sarcasm. The story is not without its kinks, and there's a bizarre bit near the end about a new breed of intentionally partner-less mothers that I really couldn't figure out. (I mean, I could understand what the author was saying. I just didn't know why it was coming up in an at-home dad story.)
(Oh -- and on the topic of Meet Mister Mom, it is consistently finishing fourth in its time slot. Thank you, America.)
Let me hit some other mentions: there is a great dad in Coon Rapids, MN named Brian Machart, who spends a lot of time involved in the local early child education program there.
Also: the group in York County, SC got some more press, this time from the Rock Hill (SC) Herald. This is the second major media placement for these guys this month. Someone give their PR director a raise!
