Most telling quote in the entire article:

"If couples can work out their differences, there are benefits to reap from having a heavily involved dad. Studies show social and academic advantages."

Well, gee. I had never thought of that! I mean, who would have imagined that having a dad involved in his kid's life would actually be a GOOD thing?

Typical PMSNBC/MSM article. Shocked to imagine that 1) dads are even capable of being a parent and 2) some are actually pretty good at it. As for the involvement issue, Dr. James Dobson has preached more involvement in kid's lives by dads for years, particularly when the child is a boy. Of course, he is a religious zealot, so I guess uthat doesn't count!

Agreed. On all the TV shows, dad is a bumbling idiot who’s essentially just one of the kids. I’ve noticed that families like this are the only ones who get on the Nanny 911 shows. Why not show a few where dad does almost everything in the house and mom sits around, watches TV, and sleeps? Newsflash, it does happen.
