Lots of press this week about fathers and the changing role of men in marriage - iin case you didn't see it, there was a big Pew Research study released last week about the changing economic standing of women in American society. This has spun off lots of articles, musings, rants, and other press that focuses on the corollary topics that we at-home Dads live on a daily basis. After 10 years of this gig, I actually find it amusing that there is so much media angst about men earning less than their wives (let alone "letting" their wife earn all or nearly all the money). I know guys struggle with this - including active members of this website - but it seems to me the media is more focused on the angst, the struggles, and the problems, rather than the successes that so many families with at-home Dads live on a daily basis.
Here is a good round-up of both the source articles as well as some of the commentary I'm talking about:
