A recent Newsweek article points out that fathers are now spending more time with their children than their predecessors did twenty years ago.
Dads are spending more time in child care, and it’s not just the fun playing-with-kids stuff, it’s across the board. They do all the basic caregiver kinds of things: the feeding, the diaper-changing, […]

This has got to be one of the stranger news stories I’ve heard in quite a while. A 72 year old English man is donating sperm to his infertile son’s wife. The man’s son will be the genetic half-brother to the baby.
I’m keeping other comments to a minimum, but it brings up lots of […]

This is not a political endorsement for against him, but aside from his political roles as senator and presidential candidate, Barack Obama is a father and (obviously) a son. He made some interesting comments the other day about how growing up without a father affected his development as a person and shaped his own outlook […]

William Baldwin, loving fatherhood and not leaving nasty voicemails.
Kevin Federline, not as bad as Britney.
Eddie Vedder, angry about the state of the world that his daughter lives in. Maybe we’ll see a Pearl Jam resurgence.

While not the proudest moment in male parenting history, a court awarded Kevin Federline custody of the children he has with Britney Spears. That’s right folks, Kevin Federline is the best parent those kids have.
A textbook example of the lesser of two evils, a judge awarded custody to Federline after Britney Spears was caught driving […]

This isn’t quite what you’d expect after Alec Baldwin’s voicemail tirade on his daughter, but William Baldwin recently told OK! Magazine that fatherhood “[i]s the greatest thing in my life.”

Many parents fear for their children’s safety while the kids are on the Internet. However, it is apparently dangerous for kids while the parents are on the Internet.

I inadvertently let it slip by without a mention, but September 11, 2007 was Father’s Day in Nepal.
Less than two weeks after Australia and New Zealand celebrate dads this year, the Nepalese celebrate Father’s Day on the “New Moon of September (Bhadra as per Lunar Calendar).”
Happy (belated) Father’s Day to dads in Nepal!

Despite rumors that their marriage is not doing well, Brangelina is pushing forward with their plans to raise their own village. That’s right, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie trying for another kid. I think it’s great that they love children so much, but how can two people with such busy, globe trotting schedules possibly take […]
