The article "Fathering: Paradoxes, Contradictions, and Dilemmas" discusses severely contradictions that go against the absent fathers that we see today. One paradox Coltrane explains is fathers being just as involved in the PTA as other mothers were during the 1930's. "The ideal father at mid-century was seen as a good provider..." (Coltrane 436) As times changes and women were sent off to work as well some men had to take on a more nurturing approach with the children in the household and provide the extra care with children. This is such a paradox because men were always seen as the families source of income and that's it. Now they were serving as helpers to the mothers and contributing with the children. This connects to the photo because it shows how men have now taken on a maternal role that women are suppose to have naturally.

Worst Date
The worst date I've ever been on was with my ex-boyfriend. We decided to go out and eat. The whole time on the way over there we argued about a cellphone. While we were there the same conversation about the cellphone continued. Finally I got so tired of the arguing I got up and walked home. After that date I did decide to continue seeing him I figured it was only a one time thing and it wouldn't happen again. I think everyone experiences a bad date every once and a while. We should all get chances to redem our selves.
