[quote=Anonymous]I’d start with a conversation about paternity leave. I’ve found that dads who not only are willing but want to take time off to bond with their baby (and I mean substantial time off where they are home alone with the baby and not just a week or two after birth) make a very easy transition to being the default parent. I’m not saying a dad who doesn’t take time off can’t get there, but I think it sets both parents up to feel like either can confidently provide care for their kid. I also say this also knowing that paternity leave can have a career impact but so does default parenting. If someone isn’t willing or can’t forgo a month of work, then it’s probably an indication of priorities generally. [/quote]
