I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while now. Looking back on past generations, it's pretty plain to see that the role of the father has evolved, in my opinion, for the better. The plainest being that fathers are simply more involved in the family's well-being. We help with the cooking, the cleaning, the housework. Conversely, a lot of mothers in our generation have entered the job market in order to help the father provide for the family. The so-called "gender roles" of parenting pasts are out the window. We have embraced a new age of "co-parenting", if I can call it that; an age where the conventional family by yesteryear's definition is anything but conventional.
Here's my hope and my great plan for this blog: To define just what it means to be a father in the 21st century. This idea that I have is that fathers from all over can share experiences, ideas, epiphanies, anything at all that gave them insight into what it takes to be a good father in this day and age. I hope that if anyone reads this, they will feel inspired to continuously strive to be a better father than they already are. Let's see what happens . . .
