[quote=Anonymous]It will get easier but not for a while. Here's my theory that I share with people. When you have one kid it's a 70%, 30% split of duties. Modern day and all, but the bulk still fails to the mom. Maybe your household is 60,40, or 65,45 - but it's not likely 50,50 given breast feeding, nights, maternity leave etc. Evem after a year or two it's stays skewed. Now, mom goes from 70 to 100%. Dad goes from 30% to 100%. It's a big adjustment for both, but as a dad, I'd be lying if I said the 2nd wasn't much much harder on us - and me. I went from some free time to wondering if maybe I'll ever do anything fun again in my life. It gets better once both kids are >4 years old. [/quote]
