Summary Sunday Dads and Grads

Summary Sunday Dads and Grads Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads! Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads! The traditional bread-winner role of the dad is morphing a little bit.   It isnt unusual to hear about stay at home dads or daddy day-cares.   This phenomenon, brought about by many different reasons, is a shift in our cultural perception of normal.   Heck, it is OK by me.   However, it has led to some interesting debates in my personal life over whether or not this is fair, right, lazy, or even normal.   Oh brother, right.   Im not going to go there.   What I will say and do is honor all the Dads for their important role in helping raise a family.   Their influence is not to be taken for granted!
