than what premuim are you placing on the father's time involvement?
has he got to have a commensurate input with the mother in less time?
well, the real hard time (not too much physicly, but mentally) have the moms like me, that are stay-at-home not by choice - no babysitter, husband works long and odd hours, so we cant switch with the kids, if I get a job I will be paying 50% if not more of my paycheck for day-care. So, I have to stay at home, while my kids see their dad only 2 hours max of the day cause he has to leave for work.
So, in those hours that are from us getting up till me waking my husband up - I have to feed and change the kids (feeding can take even a whole hour), clean up, cook lunch (and I mean lunch, not sandwiches) for my husband for work, put the baby down for a nap, work with my older one with her writing in english, cook for my husband "breakfast" while probably feeding the baby that just woke up. I cant cook hos breakfast earlier, cause he wants it fresh.
There, all this in just 5 hours.
