+1 I'm pretty sure that this is an issue for a lot of couples, irrespective of race.  Just look at this forum.

This is a marital dynamic issue, not a race issue.

I'm in a biracial marriage: I'm Asian;  he's white.  I do not play the trad wife.  DH does most of the cooking and grocery shopping, but I do clean, which I don't mind as much.[/quote]

No. There are some cultures where the men won’t do anything. They won’t change diapers, cook or clean. Nada. That’s not typical for the average white guy. White men aren’t perfect but they generally do SOMETHING. South Asian men, African and middle eastern are known not to do much.

You are correct. I am from Togo in west Africa and what you described is exactly the type of household I grew up in. I am 44 and I think a major shifted started with women born in the 1980s. In my marriage to a fellow Togolese women I do not enjoy the same perks my dad it; however, I still get away with far more than most American men. But my advice to any dad is be involved you will be much closer to your kids. I am much closer to my kids and my dad can't say the same. I attribute this to me being involved and being an equal partner as much as I can to my wife. And my wife within our community always brag about how different I am and how grateful she is. Think about your kids dads forget about the perks your dads had.[/quote]
