Dad and mom: all-star team sharing tasks of parenthood SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINDEALER - PAGE 7 - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16,1V7C A throne for his castle The more things change, the more they stay the same! From the beginning of time, the lot of protecting the family, feeding and sheltering them, oft-times disciplining the young, has been the burden of fatherhood. Today, a society in the throes of social change has come to question these values, and almost time­ less accepted responsibili­ ties. And not without reason and validity. It takes two to start a family. It takes two to rear a family. It takes a division of work, and with two bread­ winners in many a home, demands an adjustment, often a reversal, of roles between and among fath­ er, mother and children. If dad helps with the dishes or takes the family wash down to the laundry, while mother is off at work buttressing the fam­ ily income, that's not "sis­ sy," it's fair. It's being proved in practice every­ day. If dad is off on a busi­ ness trip, and mother handles the disciplining in the family, she has no other recourse. And why not? Discipline doesn't translate into strong-arm tactics. Today, we've learned that a little applied psy­ chology goes a lot further than a large helping of "big stick diplomacy." The world is a far dif­ ferent place in 1976 than it was in 1910 when Mrs. Dodd got her inspiration to start the Father's Day movement. In fact, you've come a long way, daddy -- and you too, mom. In most families, elec­ tricity has replaced elbow grease. In many families, expec­ tations and aspirations for children can't possibly be realized without two in­ comes to help meet rising costs for training young and hopeful minds. In many families, with­ out mother earning a sal­ ary too, there is no way to enjoy the fruits of our sophisticated culture. No, dad has not swapped his "macho" for a mop or marketing cart. He's just as important as ever to guide, lead and take the ultimate responsibility for his family. Vision ToRemembi But today he has more than moral support from an educated, skilled, re­ sponsible wife and help­ mate. Most families share decisions, share problems, share love and happiness. Dad has become more expert in sharing, because sharing is a way of life, underscored by the com­ plexities of modern life. Who is there today who can live by bread alone? Yet, changes notwith­ standing, father's role in keeping family matters on a level keel, have Inten­ sified rather than dimin­ ished. His understanding, skill, patience, knowledge of life, discipline, sympathy . . . they're all being tested more in a crucible of "fu­ ture shock." To meet the challenge of today, fathers of yes­ terday, often pictured as despotic, tyrannic and dominating could hardly make it. It's the new kind of father, sensitive, objective, considerate, dedicated, yet flexible, who will be honor­ ed most this Father's Day. His little sacrifices may go unnoticed, but he makes them every day, in many small ways. Think about dad -- and your relationship with him. He is still able to fix a kite, teach a kid to ride a bike, and yes, to drive the family car, too. n ; \ 4£ • ,'•* , %r*f I) • * r THIS LOUNGE CHAIR thai also rocks and is a reclincr in a perfect selection for Father'* Day gift giving.
