Look for a local event and attend. You'll meet a ton of dads from all walks of life.
And have fun, too!
Reminder, Thanks Dad, for all you do for those around you. Tonight, at 8 PM local time, count-down toast, at #FathersEve we raise a glass to you TO THE DADS! fatherseve.com

Does it make me a bad parent when I respond to one of the 3yos statements of fact such as "It's mama!" with, "How do you know?"

[Man holding alert, content infant at checkout in Target]
Woman: Okay how about I take him to the car...
Man: *whimper*
Woman: Okay...?
They haven't moved in line for 5 minutes, but he's still cuddling the infant and stroking his head.

Do you know who appeared in the Fires of Pompeii episode of Doctor Who? If so, you're doing a lot better than Eric.
Listen to the rest of the episode to see what else Eric messes up here modern-father-parental-tange…

E (3 yo): Look at all the gooses!
Me: When you see more then one goose, you say "geese". But it's always moose for one or many.
E: But why?
Me: Because English is, well... English.
Still waiting for my copy of @MerriamWebster's guide to silly English rules: Toddler Edition.

But then he nonchalantly throws out this much more absurd idea, and I'm pretty sure this isn't real.
Where did I wake up (other the correct side of the bed!)

Not only is #PaidPaternityLeave good for business, it allows #men the opportunity to perform #fatherhood by caring for their newborns alongside their partners, expanding their roles as equal caretakers and challenging stereotypes around division of childcare by parental gender.
Profits go up, turnover goes down, and income goes up when paid family leave is offered. We need to smash the stigma of dads taking leave.
This and more listening to @JoshLevs talk about @ZeroWeeks. #PaternityLeavePledge #Dad2Summit

An investment in shared parental leave is an investment in women’s career opportunities. So dads, show your support on #WomensDay to shared #ParentalLeave! Post a pic with you & your kid #ShareTheCare ❤️and tell the world why you support it!

Great @NYCDadsGroup! We would love to see some pics from your members since we want to make the voice of New York dads heard at the @UN_CSW. We would greatly appreciate a share in relevant groups on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Thanks New York Dads! 🙏

(1) Like with holiday, I get less in the Nordics than I did in the UK. I want more, or at least the same; the Nordics should catch up. (2) It should have a strong minimum compulsory component, for fairness - every new father should have to take weeks-months away from work (paid).
The Modern Father retweeted
Thanks for the input @LeonDerczynski. We agree - there is more
work to be done in the Nordic Countries. If you are interested in reading more about parental leave in the Nordics we have a brief that sums it up: norden.org/en/publication/sh…

At today's Zero Weeks Panel @dad2summit, Unilever's Working Dad of the Year Aaron Kingsley quotes, "There is a lack of understanding of why paternity leave is a conversation." #PaternityLeavePledge

If you are a soon to be father who is working for a company that does not offer paid paternity leave please check out. Also if you are a father who would like to share your story with me. DM to set up a podcast interview. dove.com/us/en/men-care/pate… #PaternityLeavePledge #dad2Summit
