What? I'm talking about parents, not mothers. Freeing fathers up from the drudgery of other crap to help raise their kids is just as important, partly so that the responsibilities can be better shared and mothers can have some time to themselves. Advancing the notion of freeing fathers to help raise their kids might be more important in some ways, as we have a farther road to travel there. Automating the need to work should be the goal. Also, I didn't mean to suggest that parenting might be "fun" or "easy". That it certainly isn't - at least not all the time. It's rewarding, but in the way that really hard work is.
