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.

The 17th Annual At-Home Dads Convention is coming up soon! This year the Convention will be in Washington DC on Saturday Oct. 6. The official hotel is the Embassy Suites of Alexandria and the discounted rate is $139/night, extremely reasonable for a DC hotel across the street from the metro that is only two stops away from Regan International Airport. You can book your room here.

Has anyone else seen these new Huggies commercials. Apparently they have a new commercial that states, "Dads push diapers and wipes to the limit"

What I saw was a commercial that states they are showing Huggies has better leak protection by putting them on children and giving them to their dads during the game. 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
