It's why I SAH.[/quote]

Bingo. I actually think the product of women's lib actually made it worse for a lot of moms. Saturated employment market, reduced salaries, but now have the cost/burden of childcare.

Families used to get on just fine on one income. Not so these days. [b]And, yes, mom is still the default parent or primary caregiver 8/10.[/b] [/quote]

So I guess we still need more women's lib.[/quote]

Or we can acknowlwdge that people have different strengths, set up our families in ways that work for us, and stop pretending that different can't be even more wonderful than pretending we are all the exact same to achieve "equality".[/quote]

My DH is way better at household stuff so he takes care of most of it (dishes, dinner, etc.) even though he works full-time. Always has - even before kids. He enjoys it. We outsource a good amount of cleaning though. I do laundry and kid duty now that I'm not working.
