    Not surprised. Loving your kids is now socially acceptable for men. But loving kids in general is not yet socially acceptable for men, sadly.

    We really need more men in childrens lives again. I remember growing up with male teachers in my elementary and grammar schools. That is essentially gone these days

      I quit my job as IT Manager 18 months ago and have been mainly stay-at-home as a 42 yr old dad. I’ve been volunteering at their school so much the office offered me a paid spot next year as a substitute / general Kindergarten helper. I’m built like a caveman and get ‘Kindergarten Cop’ jokes, but enjoy spending time with the Kindergarteners so much. It’s incredible to see their progress from no knowing letters to writing sentences by the end of the year.
