Staying home all day, every day, with the kids is new for many fathers during the COVID-19 crisis. To help them navigate the new realities of fatherhood in a pandemic, City Dads Group is working with longtime partner Dove Men+Care to create a series of "how to" videos for the grooming products company's new "Dads Care" campaign. The short videos started appearing the week of April 26 at DadsCare.com, a section of DM+C's YouTube channel. Created by fathers for fathers, the Dads Care video cover topics relevant to the times under general catagories such as hygiene, helping kids and helping … [Read more...]

Family Routines Essential During Lockdown’s ‘Unscheduled’ Time

May 13, 2020 by Vincent O'Keefe Leave a Comment

1960s style vintage kitchen clock routines

COVID-19 has done a number on time. For parents lucky enough to be healthy and employed, a key challenge has become spending so many hours at home with children. Some time flies, some crawls. Either way, we’re faced with more "underscheduled" family time than ever. For inspiration, I like to revel in a memory made several years ago. There I was, lost in a vintage clothing store in search of an all-star-husband gift for my wife. But I quickly realized I would probably make another rookie mistake, so I just started chuckling at the platform shoes and feathered hats. Soon a salesperson … [Read more...]

Home Office Goes from Calm to Chaotic with Hostile Family Takeover

April 27, 2020 by Kevin McKeever Leave a Comment

Back in late February, when most of the population still thought coronavirus came from a Mexican beer, a friend shared a jokey tweet from an online magazine editor. He wrote that the most frightening aspect of a pandemic that forced people to stay in their homes for 90 days would be that “the only ones to survive will be freelance writers.” It’s now Day Numbersomethingorother of The Great Sequester, folks. It’s the end of the world as you know it, but I feel fine. This “new normal” COVID-19 created is generally not much different than any "old normal day" I’ve had for the past 16 … [Read more...]

Navigating Joy, Worry When Your Spouse is a Healthcare Worker

April 22, 2020 by Andrew Knott Leave a Comment

Stressed man sits, hands on head, worry dread

It’s such a strange disconnect. It feels like the world is falling down around me, yet, on my little island, everything seems sunny and bright. Quite literally as well as figuratively. Every day for the past several weeks, the Florida weather has been relentlessly bright, clear, dry and hot. Completely inappropriate for an apocalypse. And inside the walls of our suburban home, with an air conditioner that whirs and rumbles most hours of the day and night, things are cheery and comfortable. The halls are filled with squeals of joy and laughter that bounce off the wood floors and invade every … [Read more...]

Laid Off? Parental Advice to Get You Through Unemployment Blues

April 13, 2020 by Brandon Billinger 1 Comment

now hiring sign enticing to laid off parents

These last few months have been quite possibly the most difficult that I have had to endure. I came home the day after being laid off wondering what the next chapter in my life would be. I wondered exactly how long would this latest stint as a laid-off father be? My family and I have been through my unemployment twice before. We knew exactly what we had to do as a result. We knew for the next few weeks, months, possibly years, I’d first and foremost be a stay-at-home-dad. Being unemployed wasn’t easy either time before. There I was laid off, treating my employment search as a … [Read more...]
