Dads Want to Have It All Too
In a recent Washington Post article, titled "Dads, Too, Want to Have It All," Brigid Schulte describes how some men struggle with work/life balance just as much as some women do. While some men report wanting to share in the responsibilities of home and family, they often find themselves slipping into the traditional "bread winner" role within their families, which often results in their spouses taking on more of the home and family responsibilities. The writer concludes by noting:
“Women have been good having a voice in the feminist movement, saying ‘We have a place in the home, now we need a place in the workplace that is equal to men,’” Harrington said. “Men have been a lot less vocal and a lot less assertive to say, ‘We’ve got a place in the workplace, but we need to legitimize our place in the home.’”
