Longtime readers know the outlines of The Boy’s and The Girl’s stories. I’ve featured them over the years as part of a conscious effort to foreground what it means to try to be a decent parent while doing these jobs. The “Dean Dad” pseudonym, back when it was, reflected the two roles that consumed most of my waking hours, but it also reflected a choice to address work-life balance from a dad’s perspective. It chronicled my imperfect efforts to be present in both roles, in hopes of nudging the dialogue around working parents away from a singular focus on women. Men need to step up, too, and the way to do it is to do it. Accordingly, the family made regular appearances in columns over the years.
