Good morning,
Tomorrow is Father’s Day on August 8. In your heart, what role should “Dad” be? Is it a breadwinner away from cooking? A co-parenting partner? Or a “houseman” who does all the housework and childcare?
In order to answer this question, we interviewed 6 “atypical fathers” with different experiences. We hope that from the stories of these fathers, we can see that housework and childcare are no longer exclusive to women. ”, and think about it together: What does it mean to be a “male/father” in this era?
Li Haozhong: I learned to be a father in Norway
We have our first child in a gender-equal country. The nurse just threw the newborn on top of me and told me to bathe the baby. The first time I washed a child, I couldn’t do it. I took her to the sink to wash her with water. At first, I felt very… ah, anyway, I felt that I was useless and did a bad job. ⋯ ? The full text is easy to read and share.
Yuan Mowen: Parenting is not 100% sweet, but if I choose again, I still have to give birth
There are many moments of achievement when being a father. For example, when we knead the dough together to make “noodles”, she can make beautiful tricks; or the children show some gratifying phenomena in their beliefs. It will then say: “Little Angel , don’t move here.” …
Liao Weitang: Du Fu and I are both father poets
In a partnership between two people, always remind yourself that we are not a working partner. Sometimes we joke that we become like we work in this house, you are the driver and I am the housekeeper, so funny! We have to remind ourselves from time to time that we are not just living for them. ⋯ ? The full text is easy to read and share.
Hu Chuan’an: No matter whether you are a single parent or a parent, raising a child requires building a village
In literature, whether it is a parent or a single parent, the father is the image of the back. In fact, in Taiwan, single fathers account for 45% of single-parent families. Many single mothers have groups and share with each other what they encounter, but men will not tell them. When I wrote the book, I was also telling other men not to be labeled by others. However, the worst seller of my book is this one. ⋯ ? The full text is easy to read and share.
Huang Zhebin: Father-son relationship is like adventure time treasure
I once joked that the thinking of the parents of the previous generation was more inclined towards “manufacturing”, with standard modules or manufacturing processes, and the imagination of children was relatively single and standardized, and those with good grades were admitted to the National Taiwan University Medical Department. The parents of this generation have turned to the customer-oriented “service industry”, accompanying their children to make customization attempts. … the full text is easy to read and share
Lin Changzuo: After becoming a father, every child looks like his own
In the past, I imagined that building a beautiful Taiwan was a mission and a dream, and it was a very “public” thing. After having Miru and becoming a father, I am now working as a legislator, and suddenly I feel very close. When there were no children in the past, I felt that they were the next generation of the country and the pillars of the future; now when I look at every child, I feel like I am watching my own child. ⋯ ?

If you/you have read this series of interviews with fathers and still feel unfinished, I invited Kang Tingyu , an associate professor of the Department of Journalism of National Chengchi University, and Huang Zhebin , a journalist from “atypical fathers”, to talk about the thoughts of modern fathers!
