[quote=Anonymous]The surprisings don't surprise me. Consciously or not, men whose wive SAH and assume traditional responsibilities often (not always) don't comprehend the challenges faced by dual-working couples. I've had to explain to many a well-meaning superior how our dual-income family functions, how day care works, how often kids get sick and need to go to dr appts, how high-risk pregnancies can really throw the family off, etc. I don't think these traditional men *intend* to be non-family friendly, they just really fail to understand how family life in a dual-working couple functions. (Just as disturbing to me are the SAH partners of these men who reinforce the traditional separation of labor at their husband's place of employment. E.g., agreeing that paid parental leave is "not fair," or making the argument that if a DH makes enough money then the DW should be at home.)[/quote]
