		<description><![CDATA[I never lie about my work. Except to my daughter. Some dads do stretch the truth about their job titles, I&#8217;ve noticed. Either they&#8217;re stay-at-home dads who still pretend to be working &#8212; heard as &#8220;I&#8217;m doing some consulting&#8221; &#8212; or they&#8217;re mostly-working dads who take a day off and think they rate the SAHD [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You’re about to think I’m a bald-faced liar. Apparently there’s a new show &#8212; Parenthood &#8211; in which a stay-at-home dad hangs out with a flirty hot mom. Thanks, NBC, for that. Television misses the mark whenever anyone’s profession is depicted; ask a hospital physician sometime how often their emergency department gets blown up by [...]]]></description>

This insomniac habit strikes about twice a week, although the specific mode of time-killing varies and there&#8217;s usually cookies involved if I can track &#8216;em down. I seem to need to get nothing done every once [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the chatting part of our appointment, our coolest-obstetrician-in-the-whole-world (seriously) mentioned that her husband is also a stay-at-home dad. &#8220;It makes a lot of sense,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He just loves to play.&#8221; I smiled, because she&#8217;d named what I consider the job&#8217;s main prerequisite. But she followed up with a near-retraction: &#8220;I mean, I love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s an old saw, of course: have kids and you&#8217;ll lose your childless friends. They&#8217;ll be off carousing and generally doing, y&#8217;know, adult things,&#160; leaving you to discuss poopy diapers with other breeding members of your circle. For me as an at-home parent, though, connecting with my friends without kids isn&#8217;t that hard: the real [...]]]></description>

After not having heard it for weeks, I got called &#34;Mr. Mom&#34; twice in quick succession yesterday, at the very-quick-and-cheap haircut place and then by the supermarket checker.
