Dear 21st Century Dad, I’m a first time new dad. When I get home from working all day, my wife expects me to change my baby’s diapers. Yuck. I can’t stand the smell of poo. How do I tell her changing diapers is a woman’s job?
Dear Mr. Diapers,
Sorry pal. In my book, changing diapers creates an intimate relationship between Dad and Baby. Get in there and enjoy the activity. Look deeply into Baby’s eyes. There’s love there. And smile; know that in sixty years, the tables may turn. Baby may be wrapping you in Depends.

Of course not all our problems start with the family. However, wouldn't we have a better world if our children could model themselves on well balanced happy parents? Such an ideal! Impossible?
