I’d love to speak to dadtalk members for a book I’m writing for Random House about balancing raising children with life outside the home.
How do you combine looking after children with the other things in your life? If you work outside the home, are you happy with the amount of time you are able to spend with your family or is it difficult to get the chance to be together? Are you happy with the amount of childcare that you do or do you feel that you do more than your fair share – or too little?
I am interested in speaking to dads with all sorts of experiences: from those of you who work outside the home full time to those of you who look after your children for part - or all - of the working week; from dads with babies to dads with teenagers; from dads who live with their children to those of you who don't. It would involve an initial chat on the phone and possibly arranging a longer conversation. What I write won't identify you. I am a professional journalist with over 15 years' experience and am happy to answer any questions you might have. I’d be delighted to hear from you if you would like to find out more.
Please email me at rebecca.asher@hotmail.co.uk with your contact details and I will get in touch. Thanks in advance and best wishes. Rebecca.
