This is interesting to me too...and sad.
I was raised (36 years ago) by a mom and dad who raised us equally. My dad was up with us at 2 in the morning, changed diapers, cooked, cleaned...you name it. He helped my mom earn more degrees and more money too.
Thank God I was raised with those models.
Also interestingly enough, my husband was raised by his dad, a SAHD while he finished his Ph.D. (39 years ago).
So we have no gender rules or roles in this house. My husband can tell you exactly what size diapers our sons wear, when they had their last bowel movement, how much they ate for breakfast, and anything else you might want to know.
If I didn't know my husband and my child was lost, I can't think of anyone more safe and caring than him.
P.S. Don't even get me started on when I do leave ..."Oh, is DH babysitting?" Um, no, he's their dad.

Our children are not ours because they share our genes...they are ours because we have had the audacity to envision them and hope for them.
That, at the end of the day...or long sleepless night, is how love really works. - Unknown
I LOVE MY SWEET SONS!!!
