[quote=Blogstar]CaRenter, I don;t no anyone who comes home and is totally off work. Most people work a lot at home when they are not at the wage job. What about two working parents? They just both sit around when they get home? I never see that.[/quote]
Maybe we’re seeing different things, and I don’t deny that there are some awesome men out there who are full partners at home (my DH is one of these great gems!), but with most of the couples I’ve seen where both people work, it’s the mom who rushes home to cook, clean, take care of the kids, etc. The dads in these situations seem to think that their workday is done, and it’s up to the wife to do the “woman’s work.” Also, it’s often the men who continue with their hobbies and friendships as if marriage and children never happened, while the women are stuck at home by themselves handing all the kids and chores. Again, not in all cases, but in far too many, which just sucks, IMHO.
