The board should...

The board wants to put out a fundraising matching challenge, but we need your help.

The idea is that if the membership can match the amount the board members donate the board will do "something" at the convention.

But what should the board do? What would you pay to see? Dramatic readings from Mr Mom. Have the board server lunch at the convention in bowties.

So what are your ideas? There are 9 board members and hundreds of members so if you come up with a good one you may just see the board do it at the convention.

They won't leak even if it goes into double overtime. I found it insulting and immediately wrote an email to Huggies. As a dad that not only stays home, but watches a lot of sports, I do not ignore my childs needs.

In the Census Bureau report "Who's Minding the Kids?" moms are considered the "designated parent" while dads are one of many "childcare arrangements." In our petition to the Census, Daddyshome strongly disagrees with the assumption that dads are a "childcare arrangement" instead of an equal parent and we believe it undermines the accuracy of the report and the social, economic and policy cons
