The Associations Between Parental Playfulness, Parenting Styles, the Coparenting Relationship and Child Playfulness
This study explores the associations between parental playfulness and various aspects of parenting, specifically role overload, parenting behaviors, and the quality of coparenting. In addition, we explore the relation between parental playfulness and child playfulness, as well as the differences in playfulness between mothers and fathers. This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study relied on a sample of 348 parents (84.7% mothers) of children aged 3–8 years old (52.9% girls). Significant associations were found between parental playfulness and cognitive aspects of child playfulness (e.g., sense of humor). Certain dimensions of coparenting (e.g., support) and other parenting behaviors (e.g., challenging and warmth) were also correlated with parental playfulness. There was no association found between parental playfulness and parental role overload. However, a significant moderation effect of parental gender was found only for the association between parental playfulness and role overload. This analysis showed that parental playfulness was positively associated with role overload for fathers but was negatively associated for mothers. Lastly, we did not identify differences between mothers’ and fathers’ self-reported playfulness. These results provide important information about an understudied parental behavior, which may inform interventions promoting positive parenting.

One day you'll thank me : lessons from an unexpected fatherhood
\"Though he grew up longing to be closer to his dad who lived three states away, fatherhood caught David McGlynn completely off guard. His sons were conceived in quick succession--the first when the author was a dirt-poor student and the second not long after he'd moved his family across the country to start a new job. As a result, McGlynn found himself colliding into fatherhood as though it were a car accident, at once scared to death and utterly thrilled. Just like many new fathers, he hopes he's doing the right thing--but he's never quite sure. The Deep End of Fatherhood translates the small, often hilarious moments common among parents of young children, especially dads, into \"life lessons\" about fatherhood. Comprised of 24 interconnected chapters--many of which have appeared in such prominent publications as The New York Times, Men's Health, Parents, Real Simple, O Magazine, and elsewhere--the stories invoke a sense of humor and honesty. This is poignant memoir filled with the insights a humorous episode might yield if we pay attention, and an expanded understanding of what it means to be an American dad\"-- Provided by publisher.

Small Domestic Wrecks: Chronicles Of Family Life In The Works Of German Dehesa
This essay traces the genealogy of German Dehesa's work along the border of journalism and literature -- an extension of 19th_ century costumbrismo and an instance of 20-century chronicle -- and analyzes its formal and thematic peculiarities. Through the lens of humor, Dehesa's work focuses on the everyday life of middle-class families and strives to outline a new form of fatherhood, whose emergence in history is recent and whose record in Mexican literature is scarce.

Daddy
Men who are Senior Citizens can be quite interesting. There are quite a few who are tired and simply want to enjoy a deserved rest by the side of their old wives. There are others who still have much energy and want to remain very active. The worst among these are those who spent their youth deprived of any form of excitement. This could have been either because they lacked the opportunities, or were too shy and withdrawn to look for fun. Now, with the funds available and women at their disposal, they insist on catching up with lost time. Daddy is a hilarious book for old men and women. However, since all the young men and women of today will grow old someday, they should have a go at having an exciting life and prepare themselves to best enjoy the escapades of men who are on the leeward side of life.

How Two Presidents Helped Me Deal With Love, Guilt, and Fatherhood
\"Who ya' dragging in?\" It was my last day covering the White House for the Associated Press, and this 2003 visit was a courtesy that presidents traditionally afford departing correspondents. [...]he needed to learn what it means to be part of a team, because he was becoming strangely isolated from his peers. In the Oval Office, years ago, I thought Bush had ordered me to \"love that boy\" in spite of his idiosyncrasies.
