You can't imagine how much I appreciate all the kind emails, phone calls, and other words of support I'm getting from people who have heard about our bold leap from the safety of a steady (and noble!) job at HSLDA to this grand adventure of serving families by ministering to homeschool dads.
Here's another way you can encourage us we get started--tell your friends to go to K-Dad and "subscribe." I need you homeschool moms to sign up to receive what I'm writing for your husbands. My plan for K-Dad is for me to write, you to read, and your husband to benefit every once in a while when I post something that's right on target for him.
I don't expect dads to read everything I write any more than I expect them to flip through clothing catalogs--but a good helpmeet will find what fits him, fold down the corner, and show it to him when it will do the most good.
I feel like this is once more making men's responsibility at home the wife's responsibility. Do men really have so little time that they can't read ONE homeschooling blog? I think that as long as men expect their wives to predigest all their information for them, they will not be as involved in homeschooling as they should be. Also, many husbands are resistant to information that they feel is being pushed at them by their wives. Isn't there any way for the homeschooling men to reach out to other homeschooling men, instead of it always being the responsibility of the wives?
