[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the most progressive dad mentally defaults to the 50s style “man works, woman does kids” mentality, albeit subconsciously in many cases. I know that’s part of my DH’s issue and he didn’t even grow up with a present dad, so it’s not like he’s modeling something he saw. Women are doomed. [/quote] I mean, it makes sense. Their dads got to work and come home to a SAHW who did everything, and now husbands with working wives are expected to do half the housework and childcare and [b]really aren’t receiving any benefits from it.[/b][/quote] Except, you know, getting to be the sort of person who pulls his weight. Which matters to a lot of women but not enough men. And to join the chorus, you don't see this when you're dating or even in the early years of marriage, necessarily. [/quote]
