John is a stay at home dad after working 10 years full time as a News Photographer in NYC. His wife works in advertising which afforded them the opportunity for him to stay home and help raise their two sons Tyler and Carter. Every day is an adventure as he just doesn't know what two little boys are going to hit him with next; most of the time it's Legos. Sometimes he's a cook, a landscaper, a coach, a handyman or even a doctor; although not officially trained, he has been able to diagnose his fair share of belly problems. Through it all though, he is most importantly a dad. He might not get all the attention from them -- they are most definitely mama's boys -- but he is there when they need him.

From A Dad Who Supports Breastfeeding: My Boys Will Be Boob Men

766 Comments | Posted February 2, 2012 | 2:00 PM

Every now and then I get sucked into these online arguments over a woman's right to breastfeed in public. It really amazes me that in this day and age this is an issue. I don't understand how people could be so closed-minded about this, it's a woman feeding her child,...
