TGIF – Caring, Committed and Conflicted

As the week winds down, we wind down with some tidbits for your information, education, health, and enjoyment.

Quote of the Week: “It is a wise father that knows his own child.”  William Shakespeare

Humor Break: Today we present some wise advice from Stay-at-Home Dads:

 “Just you wait until your mother gets home.”

“Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.”

And finally, talk about your stay-at-home dad: “I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.”  Jeff Foxworthy

Stat of the Week: Although only 1 in 20 American fathers took more than two weeks off from work after their most recent children were born, men seem increasingly comfortable with the role of stay-at-home dad.

Action Tip: Surprise your boss, spouse, and child, take a day off for you and an off-spring.  A little one-on-one action.  Do something educational before doing something you like to do (i.e. the old ball game).  And don’t forget to build in some time to just talk.

Volunteering: Big Brothers and Big Sisters always need volunteers.  Be someone’s Hero.
