Unless, the couple make a decision otherwise. It will never be institutional regardless of how many leave laws are past etc. I do see men of our generation taking on more of the child rearing roles. I see it as a gradual change. I still have friends that do the majority of the care. Again, that is the individual couples decision. I think women need to realize this when they decide to conceive. Life is not fair. Until men can have babies, the majority of the care is going to fall on the woman. Unless, the couple make a decision otherwise.

Either you talk too much or too little. It really runs in the family and gender seems to have little to do with it. Interesting theory…I always thought that talking is some kind of genetic aspect.
