More Dads Staying Home....

A new federal report says more than 155,000 dads are now stay-at-home dads.
That means the number of dads who stay home and take care of their children has tripled in the last decade.
This figure doesn't even factor in single dads, two-dads families, and those dads who now work flex-time to spend more time with their children.

We here at Bay State Parent magazine, recognized this growing trend of more dads staying home last year with our Father's Day feature article in the June 2006 issue.
