Fathers by the numbers

Chances are, your dad is pretty swell, but he's not alone in his fatherly efforts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, he's one of 64.3 million fathers nationwide.

Here are some other daddy details you can bring up at that Fathers Day barbeque (A type of gathering, by the way, in which 78 million Americans participated last year.)

– In 2008, there were about 140,000 stay-at-home dads. They cared for 243,000 kids.

– About 1.8 million dads described themselves as single parents last year.

– About 53 percent of dads reported eating breakfast with their kids every day in 2006. Just over 70 percent made family dinner a daily habit.
