It's true though!

By and large modern fathers do far more than previous generations of fathers, Society has changed, Mothers are no longer
expected to be stay at home house wives, But no need for any journalist to be in any way provocative,

It is but to me sitting down to write this suggests the author has a little too much time on their hands. Far more important things to be getting worked up about. I tell people I babysit my little man just to get a windup to be honest.

Absolutely. With both parents working dads now have to cook dinners, clean the house, change nappies etc etc. and rightly so.

Exactly, we share out responsibilities for our kids with our partners, I know this from personal experience.

Oh great. Mrs Cranky has just seen the article and without me even opening my mouth I’m in the doghouse.

I am sure they do, but no one has ever told me that I'm great to take the kids while my husband is studying, and he was told that all the time when I was doing my masters.

This isn't about men doing their share, it is about what is considered standard for women, and what is considered standard for men being different.

Ok. Lets take about equality and 'standards'. Men get 2 weeks paternity leave. Women get 6 months. Square that circle.
(Cue bullshit response....)

Did your hubby mind the kids when you did the test for your HGV licence?
