Playskool's Twitter Question For Dads Lands The Brand In Hot Water

Playskool, a division of Hasbro usually touted for bringing Mr. Potato Head into our children’s lives, found itself at the center of a Twitter firestorm over the weekend. On Friday, the brand tweeted a question directed at fathers that many prominent dad bloggers construed as outdated and sexist:
The reaction from dads on Twitter was swift. "Not sure where the question is coming from, but as a work-at-home Dad I'd say every day -- unless the kids are actually 'in charge,'" James Zahn, aka The Rock Father replied right away. John Wiley, whose blog is actually called Daddy's In Charge, simply wrote, "Check out my Twitter Handle."
