Just on time for Fathers day interesting news from Sweden: 85 percent of fathers now take parental leave! “Those who do not stay home face questions from family and friends.” (The NYT/ 06/15 /10). Yes, Sweden was always a very progressive country. They truly deserve the Fathers Day.
How ever, we will celebrate soon, too. I asked my husband what he wishes to do. Should I make a reservation in a nice restaurant or something else, more adventurous? Guess, what he answered: a barbeque in his own back yard… I smile already picturing him wearing his favourite “Life is good” t-shirt, standing at the grill with a glass of beer…What a cliché! But obviously a real “man-thing”. And I love to see him so relaxed and happy.
The Swedish speak about redefining Manhood. Not here, not right now.
Happy Fathers Day!!
