Caregiver- Father

As I had previously said that society has mad it a norm that women are seen as caregivers , taking care of the children and the household, but for father it is seen not as normal because for the most part men are the breadwinners and are the providers for majority of the households. So for a man to be a caregiver it is good for a father to spend that quality time with his children that he may not have if he was working, but still adjusting is still needed to be done in todays gender roles. The book also states that ” Men face rising pressures to do more at home and earn more at work if they do not marry”. If a man is the caregiver the woman would like for everything to be done just as she would have done if she was staying home and the man was working. That may include cleaning up the house, washing clothes, taking care of the children, and preparing a meal for the family.
