[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of these non-gender traditional fathers. And I am not sure I really agree with the premise that it is people in traditional gender roles that make life difficult for people like me.

I have found women bosses, and male bosses with working wives, to be just as good/bad as male bosses whose wives stay at home.  Some people have live-in nannies that they rely on.

At the end of the day the trick is to find a work situation where they care about quality of output and allow you the flexibility you need on when and how you do it. Fortunately, in DC at least, I think that is relatively easy to do.  I also happen to think that people work too much overall here, but that is a different story.[/quote]

OP here.  I hear you, and I concede your point.  It's the posters like "Mrs. I stay home so my husband doesn't have to pal around with the kids" whose skin I was trying to get under.  Because I do think they contribute to the culture and their judgmental POV pisses me off, frankly.

And you are right about finding the right work environment, but I don't necessarily agree that it is easy to do.  I've had several jobs in the time I've been in DC and my current is the first where work/life balance is truly extended to everyone, regardless of your personal life situation.  [/quote]
