Repost: How would you respond if someone harmed your kid in front of you?
I've contributed to the Orlando Sentinel's Moms at Work blog since 2010. The blog is changing content management systems and my old posts will no longer be available to the public, so I'm reposting them here, in the order that they were originally posted.

I'm not saying it was right, but let's just say I understand why David Barajas, a Texas man, killed the drunk driver who killed his sons.
The drunk driver killed both of his sons with one crash -- just steps from their home! Barajas, who obviously was overcome by grief in the moment, shot the driver, 20-year-old Jose Banda, in the head.
He now faces a murder charge.
So here's the question: Should he get a break?

Dads, want to make sure your daughter is ambitious?
Then make sure you do a good job at sharing housework.
A University of British Columbia study has determined that egalitarian dads who share housework well have daughters who are more ambitious and have broader interests than the daughters of dads who aren't so open-minded, according to the Boston Globe.
The study found that while moms and dads both affect their children's ideas about gender roles, dads have an outsized influence on daughters when it comes to those daughters' ambitions and career choices.

Single fathers head a record number of U.S. households
The face of single parenting in the U.S. is changing ever so slightly, according to a Pew Research Center study.
About eight percent of U.S. households are headed by a single father and just under a quarter of all single-parent households are headed by dads, according to the study. Those are record-high numbers.
