But your boss doesn't tell you "You're the best Daddy in the world".. ;). (to be fair , sometimes I also get told I'm the worst Daddy in the world, but less often than I'm the best.. ;) ). I think people maybe work more either to (a) avoid their share of childcare because in some ways work is "easier". or (b) due to false idea of just how much it costs to raise children and therefore pressure to earn more. (we find kids are happy with a fair % of their toys and clothes being secondhand, and take pleasure in many activities that cost nothing or little)
