Another way is to make it so we don't expect it to be the mother who spends most time with their kids. Fathers also vary in how much time they want to spend with their kids, but society assumes it is less than mothers, which can make it difficult for men to do this, which in turn limits the mothers ability to spend less time with their children to focus on work.
In most situations there is usually a primary carer, that should not be expected to be the mother.
- kbelder 6y agoThere are real biological considerations that influence that, at least for the first couple years of life. Not insurmountable, but still real. And due to knock on effects, that first couple of years spent as primary caregiver tends to stick.
- celticninja 6y agoI assume you mean breastfeeding, which usually only occurs for the first 12-18 months. Further many children are not exclusively breastfed for more than 6 months.
