[quote=Anonymous]The power dynamic has shifted.  I was lucky to be raised in a household where my parents saw each other as equals and my dad treated my sister and I the same as my brother.  There were no 'girl chores' or 'boy chores'--girls mowed the lawn too and boys set the dinner table, etc.  And- we were competitive in travel sports and taught we could grow up and be successful in whatever field of our choosing, my dad particularly stressing the importance of STEM in the job market.  I saw my dad have a flex schedule and be the 'chef' of the household while my mom's OCD cleaning handled that part.

A marriage is so much better when there is no second-class citizen and the sexes are equal partners in intellect and expectations.

I married a man who is very proud of my career, brags about it.  And, we have altered our jobs over time to fit the family dynamic so no parent is missing at the Office all of the time.  We both WAH now.

I have sons and it has been important for me that they see how involved their father is in family life and domestic duties.   And, he's a big muscular Alpha that people are surprised is the one that does the laundry and most of the cleaning when our cleaning lady isn't here.
