While there’s long been talk of a woman’s pregnancy glow (despite the soon-to-be-mom often feeling the opposite), a recent study has found that new dads are total hotties, if only in their heads.

The research, from the Journal of Gender Studies, found that while new moms tend to have a lower perceived physical attractiveness, new dads get a boost. A sexy boost.

In August 2012, we pointed out an Icelandic study that found older dads are more likely to have autistic kids. New research now says that the older a man is when he conceives his child, the more likely it is that autism will show up in his grandchildren.

Because we know you want to have to think about multiple generations while piping out the baby batter.

Fat dudes looking to have kids might want to put down the KFC and pick up the kale. Or put down the tiramisu and get on a treadmill. Or something.

Recent research has found that there is a possible link between paternal obesity and a small panel of children’s cancers.

New correlational research suggests that dads who think a woman’s place is in the home might be influencing their daughters to stay home as well.

LiveScience reports today that dads who share household chores and have equal-rightsy feelings about women in the workplace create daughters who tend to have more workplace ambition.

Employees who are unhappy about the newly increased taxes in 2013 had better hope that their CEO doesn’t have a kid. Kind of.

Kids, those bitter crotchfruit that are rumored to ruin everything, might also be lowering employee wages. A recent Dutch study found that when the male Chief Executive Officer of a company has kids – boys specifically – employees’ wages drop.

Sad dads might have affect their kids earlier than previously thought.

Seen in the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a group of Norwegian doctors found that a father’s stress and depression during his partner’s pregnancy is a possible predictor for future emotional, behavioral, and social problems in his child.

Did you know that adoptive fathers can get postpartum too?

Only a couple of years ago, biological dads were saying “you know, I think I have postpartum,” and mothers were all like, “oh c’mon, Reggie, just let us have one thing, would you?”

Assuming of course that your name is Reggie, which according to our website stats – it is!

A study by the National Literacy Trust found that one third of UK dads aren’t encouraging their children to read. This figure is up 30% from 2009, the last year that data was available on the topic.

The study also found that the number of mothers who are never seen reading has been relatively steady at one-in-six.
