In the 1983 film "Mr. Mom," Michael Keaton plays a guy who, after losing his job, must stay home and take care of the kids. Having apparently never done any work around the house whatsoever, he proceeds to wrestle a runaway vacuum cleaner, cook his son a grilled-cheese sandwich with an iron, and treat a diaper change as though he's handling plutonium. The movie still provides some decent laughs - it was written by a then-relatively unknown John Hughes - but the zany notion of a man staying home while his wife worked feels outdated 30 years later.

There is always another option to tune into now - listen to, read, stream, share, buy - and it's all at your fingertips.
