We're back!
Our definition of a full-itme dad is any father who takes his children's care as a top priority in his life. The "average" American father spends about 173 minutes (less than 3 hours) a week interacting with his children, the experts says...that, my friends, is not full time. All it really takes is love to be a dad, add time and devotion, and you have a full time dad.
For individuals with internet connections you can visit Full-Time Dads online.
Our host is slowlane.com which is the domain owned and operated by Chris Stafford, founder of Full-Time Dads. He hosts not only Full-Time Dads but also the Fathers' Resource Center in Minneapolis.
