And please don't call them Mr. Moms.

They are not just Dads.

They are SUPERDADS.

....when they grow up, I am one of them. From those trips to the library where I read as a kid, he encouraged me not only to finish college but also to attend graduate school. That time he was working part time as an insurance underwriter. And for all his work and the time he spend with me, it paid off now that I am an Assistant Professor.

Thank you so much Dad and thank you to all the stay at home dads whose devotion to their kids are priceless.

My Dad took this role. And I say it's one of the best things he's done. I am thankful that I had a father who got to know his kids. During the time when he was not working, he took us to the library and encouraged me and my brother to read instead of watching countless hours in front of TV. While there are people out there who find it strange for Dads to be there for their kids, I say they are the greatest. And proof that kids who grew up with their stay at home dads do better....
