Learning the Duvet Way

Exactly why single dad Matthew Collins hates duvet covers isn't clear. (Actually why he feels the need to clean them once a week also seems a bit murky.) But he is clear and even eloquent on what he does well as a father of two boys.

And fathers doing well by children is becoming less and less the unusual. Although the tone taken in articles about fathers doing more fathering everywhere from Canada to various points of call in the States is still similar to what might be expected when describing a talking dog.

While moms can learn something from dads about life and parenting, it is probably best when they gain from each other as they try to achieve together for their children.

But, back to Collins, as much as he says he learns from his mom friends, the smarts he offers most in his essay seem to be the result of time he has spent with and thinking about his kids. (If only they could explain duvets to him ....)
