Reality Check

One of the things you've got to like about Penelope Trunk is her forthrightness. This post on her Web site is from July, but that doesn't make it any less valuable. It's about the struggles of stay-at-home fathers, told from the point of view of a woman who's married to one.

I know that there are a lot of stay-at-home dads. But while it may seem like there are a lot who are happy, I think it’s really just that every single one of the happy ones is blogging.
Flexwork, alternative work arrangements and what have you are such huge topics of discussion nowadays. But sometimes, there are unintended consequences.
