You know what's ironic? If you and your husband are really both having
careers and raising children and splitting the housekeeping equally,
you probably don't have time to read this 10-page New York Times Magazine
story on shared parenting. You are probably both so busy that you
should be congratulated if you can name one of this year's big summer
movies. Because it takes a lot of planning and talking and negotiating
(both with your spouse and your employers) to really live the dream of
the gender-balanced family life. Does your work/life division look like you hoped it would back when kids were only an idea?
