I used to think there was no way it was the man who pushed for all those kids...

My DH pushed for the first one because his mom was putting on so much pressure. The second one I pushed for. Then DH tried to push for a third much later ("I really want a boy") I shut it down because a)he really couldn't be bothered with much of the work of the first two and b) he was already telling me he wanted a divorce and thought a new baby would bring us "closer".

Gets them ready for school most mornings, pack lunches, fills out most all school forms, is outside playing with them after school/work nearly every day, is very affectionate, and overall demonstrates every single day that he loves being a parent.

What do you do if he's doing most of the work?

Maybe she does more housework or brings in most of the income.
