  • Getting Results for Maternal and Child Health in Bangladesh Through Community Empowerment

    Updated: 2012-09-26 17:10:30
    So often when we hear stories from developing countries, it is all about despair. That is partly reality and partly a result of the way media covers things. I didn't know exactly what to expect in Bangladesh, but I certainly thought "despair" would be part of it. Interestingly, after two days of learning about and [...]

  • Sex Toy Review: Butterfly Kiss

    Updated: 2012-09-25 11:42:36
    Butterfly Kiss is a delightfully wicked little G-spot vibrator and clitoral stimulator. Rabbit-like in design, it's even waterproof so I enjoy it in the bath. I like the soft TPR material. It moves with me, unlike other more rigid vibrators...

    Updated: 2012-09-15 16:07:30
    When Save the Children Canada first asked me to go with them to Bangladesh, I knew it would be simultaneously heart wrenching and incredible. I knew I would be seeing extreme poverty and hunger and sickness. I knew I would be learning about the amazing progress that organizations like Save the Children have made in [...]

    Updated: 2012-09-13 03:07:25
    Six months ago, we were full of hope as we opened packets of seeds from Cubits and planted them in trays. We watched as they grew from sprouts to seedlings to plants. We tried to be patient as the little green tomatoes appeared, grew, and eventually (oh so slowly) started to ripen. Our patience finally [...]

    it's great being a parent and to have your husband just as involved with the kids as you are is very satisfying to be honest.and I am pretty sure it's a nice feeling for the men too.it's a win-win situation for all and that's the way it should be-both mother and father involving equally with the kids.

    Men are always the parent that is left out! They have to make a concerted effort to get in there and to get involved. Without their input and involvement the family unit is never going to be as strong as it could be.

    @Connie- Parents who don't spend time with their kids are among the worst kinds. We all need to feel loved and wanted. My dad spent very little time with me and the only time he did was when my parents were getting a divorce. The end result? I honestly could not muster an ounce of caring about him if I tried. He was a miserable failure and didn't man up for 14 years. Too late by that point. His loss, not mine.

    @C.N.-- Your wife should not be alienating you from your children deliberately. In the worst case scenario, she might end up divorcing you and claim you were a deadbeat who did absolutely nothing to help raise your children. Perhaps it's not done deliberately although it sure sounds like that to me. It's good that you take a stand and let them have some free reign. Bravo! Controlling every aspect of their lives is a quick way to ruin them and quash any individuality that's screaming to get out.

    @Karen: Back in the day, it went like this. The mother taught you, fed you,and clothed you. Your dad brought in the money so she could do that, and he also handled the discipline when you didn't do as you were told. I can remember being warned "wait till your father gets home!" by my mother many times in my youth. Now with so many women working and earning themselves, dads take a back seat. They don't need us so much anymore and our status as head of the household is shaky nowadays. Changed days indeed.

    The only thing a woman can do that a man can't for a newborn is breastfeed. That's it. Anything a woman can do, a man can do and anything a man can do, a woman can do. Both parents are important in raising a child, and even if you're a single parent, you can raise one perfectly well. It's being a good attentive and loving parent that counts, not your gender.

    I had a "father" who kind of forgot the important things about being a dad. He thought it was all about bringing home a pay check and paying the bills but never about spending time with me and my brother. Oh well, I hope that I marry someone who is a little better schooled about all of the responsibilities that come with being a good dad.

    Dads get a bad rap. There are plenty out there like myself who would love to be more involved with our children. Unfortunately their mother stands like a gatekeeper between me and them. And we're married! I don't make them follow the house rules apparently, or don't make sure they attend their many extra curricular activities on time. Well maybe if you gave me the chance and quit being a neurotic soccer mom I could! They are overscheduled anyway in my opinion and need time to goof off. If they don't feel like going, I don't make them go. I feel like I'm a third wheel and she'd only notice I was gone if my paycheck wasn't in the bank. I'm practically a stranger to my own kids under my own roof.

    I've never came across a father that was involved with his kids to the extent a mother is and I think that's through choice, not a lack of knowledge or confidence. Even in these so-called days of equality, they expect the moms to shoulder the majority of the child-rearing responsibilities, which they do. Both working full-time counts for nothing apparently. And that's why Fathers Day took six decades longer to pass than Mothers Day: truth is, their role in shaping their child's life just wasn't as important.

    I think the reason why the importance of fathers and the role that they play in their children's lives is downplayed is because they are not as biologically involved as the mother.But it is not the right thing to do because a father can have a huge influence on a child.I think this is one of the few areas where men face discrimination!
