These are great points on societal expectations of parents. On the flip side, there is still a lot of judgement against stay at home dads, who are typically just thought of as lazy or not manly enough if they stay at home with the kids, even if it makes sense because their wife has greater income potential due to chosen career/education.
- belorn 11y agoThere was recently a study in the news paper that showed men receiving worse discrimination in pay raise than women in relation to the time spent home with children. One suggested explanation to this is that women's wages are per-discriminated with the assumption that they will spend some amount of time home with children, but men spending time home with children doesn't fit the social expectations and they are instead judged as lazy.
