Stay-at-home dads do it better?
I ran across this piece in USA Today, which seems to suggest that stay-at-home dads do child rearing differently, which in the case of this guy seems to mean that they hang out with the kid but still leave a lot of housework to the wife. Good deal if you can get it. How do you split things up?
I knew a few stay-at-home dads who waited tables a few nights a week, and I believe this was only in part because of $$--it might also have been an easy way to get out of the house and away from the family without having an argument over Who Is Pulling Their Weight.
There is no amicable split of duties. Just like everyone firmly believes they are above average drivers, everyone feels they do way more than their spouse. If I left the rearin' solely to the hub, my kids would all be professional video gamers or History-Channel-aholics.
