I'm Not A Slacker

Let's peek in on Kevin, a full-time stay-at-home dad (and part-time geek) who chronicles his adventures with son Gavin, now two. His weblog is called "I'm Not A Slacker" and his first post, from June 2004, was: "Well today is the first day of my new job. So you may ask, “What am I doing sitting at home?.” My new job is caring for my wonderful new son Gavin. My wife makes the money and we couldn’t justify outsourcing parenting so we could have a few hundred extra dollars at the end of the month." In addition to having fun in the sun with his son, Kevin also links up news stories of bad parents in a disturbing occasional feature called Dumb*** Parent of the Day. Click kev.homelinux.net.
