Men are secondary parents in a lot of households, and it’s not okay. Both for dads themselves and their kids.

- steve_adams_86 3y agoGreat point. So long as it’s unbalanced, it’s a detriment to everyone including the kids.
- hef19898 3y agoAfter decades of fathers spending their lives at work, and leaving the household and childcare to the mothers, I guess the solution might be easy enough to figure out.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoI’m not sure if it’s intended, but this makes it sound as though the solution is an individual one that easy to uncover. Apologies if I’m misinterpreting that. If I’m right though, I’d say that it isn’t easy at all, and there are many systemic pressures which make the solution difficult for individuals.
- hef19898 3y agoThe easy, as in dads can do the se job when it comes to staying home and caring for children as moms can. There are two things standing in the way, the pay gap and social pressure. The latter so, is completely up to the individual to ignore.
