Dads say: We want to "have it all," too... not that anyone asked us

"Not long ago, my second grader came to me in tears. He was upset that I wouldn’t be able to chaperone his class field trip the next day because I had to work.

“'I want you there. I want you to go. I want to be with my daddy.'

"I hugged him and assured him that we would take our own family field trip over the weekend. This compromise seemed to make him feel better, but it didn’t make me feel better."
