[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's absolutely possible to find a husband who doesn't dump all the work on you.  My brother has been a SAHD and is the primary caretaker for his kids (his wife's job requires a lot of travel, he works remotely part time).  My husband and I share childcare equally.  When I drop my kid off at preschool half of those doing dropoff and pickup are Dads.[/quote]

Yeah, it's possible. But there are still norms and averages.  Most women get shafted, taking on more than the man.  Getting back to OP, though, she is in a situation where its not just inequitable, it's *entirely* on her. Its a rare circumstance where divorce may be the rational solution. He seems to be functionally not really a husband already so formalizing it and moving on seems sensible.  [/quote]

The way to stop the norms is to fight them.  Dump lazy man babies. Make it spcialy unacceptable.  Millennial Dads spend three times as much time with their kids on average than their fathers did.  Keep the trend going.[/quote]

It's not really practical to divorce a man bc he cleans only 70% as much as hou. It makes more sense to just slowly turn up the dial.  Women now have a better deal than before. But dont kid yourself, this is a widespread and persistant problem and probably wont be solved by blowing up most families.   [/quote]
