[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you aren't in the same place as your baby/toddler from, say, 8am-6pm, it is hard to call yourself a ft parent.  [/quote]

So are all dads who WOH "part time parents"?? I never considered my dad to be a part time parent even though for my whole life he has worked (outside the home) full time. He'd be offended by the notion, as would my husband, as am I. Parenting is more than providing childcare.

When there are two contributing parents, [b][u]usually one is focused on financial support, while the other is managing the home[/u][/b] and family well-being. Sure, you can attemp to split the responsibilities down the middle. But as we all know, it almost never works out that way.[/quote]

This is not a statement of fact.[/quote]
Isn't the one who earns more $$$, the one more focused on being the "primary breadwinner"? And the other does most of everything else in the family?[/quote]

What if the parents earn about the same? DH and I each earn about $200K, depending on the year.  We can't be that unusual in being fairly evenly matched salary wise.[/quote]
