Zeno's Bar & Grill

We feel like we’ve given the dads in our life short shrift by not mentioning that yesterday was, of course, Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Okay, okay, it was Father’s Day. We gave our husbands the requisite ties, cards, Brazilian CD’s and that coupon book good for a year’s worth of breakfasts in bed and days off from chores. We let them sleep in and catered to their every whim.

Still, with the good, must come the bad and the ugly. Dads are starting to get not only more of the credit, but also blame, for how children turn out. From writer Daphne Merkin’s article in the New York Times Magazine lamenting her lack of fatherly attention to a book called The Father Factor that links fathering style with the type of employee his child will later become, dads are finally getting their moment in the spotlight. Welcome to the guilt club guys and Happy Belated Father’s Day.
