President Obama interrupted my Father's Day with an e-mail announcing the launch of The President's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative and an associated Web site, Fatherhood.gov, which honestly I could have mistaken for an elaborate prank undertaken by some libertarian group trying to make the point that the next thing you know, Big Government and President Obama are going to try to insert themselves into the father-son or father-daughter relationship. Except that, sure enough, at the bottom of the Web site is language announcing, This is an official U.S. Government Web site managed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.So I ignored my children for a few minutes of Father's Day and did what the president asked which was to check out the Web site, and especially the government's Tips for Parents.They were infuriating.Here was tip number two: Watch a game on television with your children. Cheer for your favorite team and chat about the plays. Mute the commercials and use those minutes to talk about what's going on in your lives. Here is the government telling Americans to mute the commercials. Suppose I work at an advertising agency and earn my living making commercials, or own a company that has just invested millions of dollars in those commercials in the hope of winning customers and making a profit? Suppose I own a television network that makes its money by selling those commercials? Suppose I am a taxpayer who has just shelled out major bucks for the Army or the Census or some other branch of the government to buy these commercials, only to have another branch of the government instruct Americans not to listen to the same commercials my tax money was just spent to purchase. If I had any advice for fathers, it would be to mute the ballgame and turn up the volume for the commercials, or turn off the tube altogether and go play a game with your child. But now the government wants us to mute commercials? Really.

Here was tip number three: Take a virtual vacation with your children. Decide on a destination then borrow a library book that features facts and photos of your dream locale. Prepare a meal based on the native cuisine and enjoy it together while you watch a documentary about the country or a movie that takes place there. Let these fantasy voyages be your passport to lasting family memories.The assumption seems to be that the dream destination is outside America, unless by native cuisine the government means corn and venison.Here's another tip: Plan ahead so you and your little trick-or-treaters are safe on Halloween. ...Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before allowing your kids to eat them.What better way to raise paranoid, anxiety-ridden children than by giving them the idea that their neighbors are going to be slipping poison or razor blades into their tampered-with Halloween candy? Another tip: Buy compact florescent light (CFL) bulbs, which last about 5 years and use less energy. Switching just one standard bulb to a CFL can help you reduce your electricity bill by as much as 75 cents per month.I used to believe in this idea. Then, after putting CFL bulbs all over the house, I found that they don't last five years. They may last a couple of years. There are four of the expired ones sitting on my desk because they are full of mercury and there is no safe way to dispose of them in New York City other than remembering to drop them off at a Home Depot or Ikea. The whole thing strikes me as a racket for the light-bulb companies to charge five times as much for a light bulb. And if the government is going to hector fathers to use these lightbulbs, the least the government could do is to provide proper disposal facilities for them.

Another government tip for fathers: Instead of buying bottled water, use a water filter on your tap and keep a pitcher of filtered water in your refrigerator to fill a reusable bottle.In my city, the government is in charge of making sure my water is safe. Now it's telling me I need to filter the water it's selling to me? If you really want to be green, as the parenting tips are supposed to be, skip the filter -- it just makes more trash, and it takes energy to manufacture and deliver. Do we really need the executive branch of the federal government, without any mandate from Congress, siding in favor of the water-filter industry and against the bottled-water industry? I don't blame President Obama alone for this. President George W. Bush was pushing this fatherhood stuff through his Health and Human Services Department and its official, Wade Horn, as well. And look, maybe there is a role for the government in helping people be better fathers. But as a father myself, I find these tips to be maddening. The current federal government can barely do the tasks that it is assigned in the Constitution, such as keeping us safe from foreign invaders and regulating the value of money. I'd be happy if the government could just win Iraq and Afghanistan, secure the border, live roughly within its means, and make sure the beaches of Florida aren't covered with petroleum products. If the government is going to beyond that and assign itself, unbidden, the all-new task of improving the nation's fathers, it's going to have to do better than telling people to filter their water, mute the television commercials, use more expensive lightbulbs, and check the Halloween candy for tampering, if President Obama wants to avoid spawning more of the very cynicism he went to Washington vowing to defeat.

Little ones can find the hammer, wrench, or pliers in a toolbox while older kids can learn how to repair household items.

Cook for Mom this Mother’s Day. If you live with your family, let Mom relax while you and the kids plan and prepare a meal you all can share. If you live apart from your family, bake cookies with your children the next time you are together and wrap up a package of goodies they can give to their mother.Schedule a Dads Day Out on Father’s Day with a group of dads and their kids. Play games, share stories, and just appreciate the fun and joys that come with being a dad.Release your inner DJ while you listen to music with your children. Compile a playlist that includes your favorite songs as well as some your kids select. Explain to each other what makes the songs special. Go ahead and sing along or dance, because you don’t need a great voice or expert dance moves to let music strengthen your relationship with your kids.

Catch a summer blockbuster at the cinema or watch a classic movie on TV. Make sure the film is age-appropriate for your children. Remember your favorite scenes and talk about them when the movie ends.Now that your children are back to school, schedule a family reading night or family math night to build on what they are covering in the classroom. Make it fun and relaxed, and help your children understand that adults can always learn something new too.Plan ahead so you and your little trick-or-treaters are safe on Halloween.

Older kids can cook their favorite dish, while younger ones can set the table or construct a centerpiece. Talk about what you are thankful for and what you respect most about each family member.Bake a cake, cupcakes, or cookies with your children. Following directions and measuring ingredients help improve children’s reading and math skills. What a sweet way for children to learn while spending time with you.

Green Dads Tips
Gather your already read books and donate them to a local library, school, or shelter. The books will be enjoyed again, you will reinforce to your children the value of reading, and they will gain a better understanding of the importance of giving to others.Turn off the water while you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime. You can save up to eight gallons of water a day.Many electronic devices and appliances use power even when they're switched off or not in use. You can save money and energy by unplugging items when they aren’t being used.

Earth-friendly cleaning products are widely available and are kinder to our air and water. Or you can make your own cleaning supplies with white vinegar, lemons, baking soda, and other basics you probably have in your kitchen already. Check online or at your local library for the step-by-step of cleaning green.Bike or walk to a park, trail, or other outdoor spot. Leaving the car at home will reduce carbon emissions and you will add exercise to your day without even trying.For Father’s Day, let your family know you would like to share a family activity rather than receive gifts. Instead of collecting another tie, take photos of yourself and your children enjoying your time together. Eliminating wrapping paper and taking digital photos generate less waste on dad’s special day.Take a break from the summer heat with a craft project you and your children can work on together indoors or in the shade. Gather magazines, newspapers, fabrics, and other materials that are scheduled to be thrown away and turn them into attractive and useful items such as greeting cards you can send to family and friends.Visit a farmers market or farm where you can pick your own produce. Locally grown fruits and vegetables do not need to be shipped, which contributes to reducing carbon emissions. Before your trip, go online with your children to find out what is in season in your area and how you can use those items in putting together a fresh, healthy dinner menu.

Bring your own bag to the grocery store. You probably can pack more items per bag and many stores offer a discount for using your own bag. Repurpose old backpacks, handbags, and tote bags you already have at home.Instead of buying Halloween costumes, help your children create them using items you already have at home. Or ask a group of friends to join you in swapping (recycling!) costumes the kids wore for previous Halloweens.Buy compact florescent light (CFL) bulbs, which last about 5 years and use less energy. Switching just one standard bulb to a CFL can help you reduce your electricity bill by as much as 75 cents per month.In 2008, Americans spent nearly $11 billion on more than 8 billion gallons of bottled water, and then tossed more than 22 billion empty plastic bottles in the trash. Instead of buying bottled water, use a water filter on your tap and keep a pitcher of filtered water in your refrigerator to fill a reusable bottle.
