A recent study finds that today’s fulltime fathers aren’t trying to be “Mr Moms”—instead,they’re carving out their own unique roles as parents.I spoke with some experienced stayathome dads,who agreed that their parenting style tends to be more roughandtumble.“I do let the kids take more risks on the playground,whereas my wife tends to get nervous that they’ll fall and hurt themselves,” says Kyle,38,an artist.
In addition,as there are more and more stayathome dads,they are turning to each other for support.They create Meetup groups and holding “Dads’ Nights Out”.Kyle admits he has noticed a shift recently.“Several years ago,I was checking out at the grocery store with the kids,and the cashier was very curious why I was buying groceries instead of my wife.I told her that I was a fulltime dad,and she commented,‘Wow,I have never met one of you before.’Now,my nextdoor neighbor is a dad who stays at home and we often trade off watching the kids after school.”
As for my own husband,although he admits that being a fulltime dad is challenging,he is also proud of the strong bond that he has developed with our daughter,which will offer her benefits that last for years.Children with caring,involved dads tend to have higher IQs,more confidence,and do better in school.They are also less likely to experience depression or get into trouble,and have better social skills.
