This comment by Cecily on the post I Have a Dream: That People Will View a Picture Like This and Not Think It’s a Big Deal
I think it is always awesome when I see a dad willing to do the 50/50. I was a stay at home mom for a long time. I have 4 girls from a previous marriage and one with my husband now. He was the bread winner,until he realized he wanted to go back to school full time and make a better life. I now work and take care of us, while he gets to stay home with our girls. I smile every time I get home and listen to him talk about his day.( I know exactly what he went through) I miss being the one at home, but I love that he knows how great it feels to be the one taking care of the kids etc. I think both sides need to know what it is like to better appreciate each other. I definitely think we need a world of dads willing to step into some new shoes. It really does make the family so much closer when everyone does it together. Skin color should be irrelevant in this day and age. Love crosses all boundaries of race,sex, etc. It should just be the norm that we are all people. Great blog!!

Should Men and Women have the freedom and social acceptance of breaking with accepted gender roles? Who is for Dad as homemaker and primary caregiver and Mom as breadwinner?
