[quote=Anonymous]I think what the OP is conccerned about is the fact that many men are not on top of the details of how their children's lives function. Making sure that every kid has several pieces of each type of clothing in the appropriate size, that there is childcare coverage for school closings, that permission slips are returned, that homework gets done, that pediatricians' appointments are made, that special medical diets are followed, that presents are purchased for the in-laws anniversary etc. are frequently handled by women. This stuff takes tremendous mental energy and planning. Time diaries show that men play with their kids more these days, but that women are doing a lot of the rest of the child-related responsibilities. This isn't universal. I know plenty of men who pull their weight in this respect, but it's probably less than 40%. Whether it's nature or nurture, I don't know. [/quote]
