fathers

One sliver of silver lining from this pandemic is that dads are home more than ever. It’s an opportunity to hit reset on the division of domestic duties.

The so-called “chore wars”, long a series of skirmishes on the feminist front line (or in pretty much every average household) are about to go nuclear.

Until we seriously consider how fathers can do more at home, mothers will continue to struggle to combine work and family.  And unsurprisingly, many of them, feminists included, will decide they can’t. It’s time for dads to do more.

Andrew Griffiths is the UK’s business minister who is currently promoting shared parental leave and admits to Emma Barnett that he can’t access it himself.

Studies show that parents’ demanding jobs can adversely affect the mental health of children, which is why need to talk about work & parenting.

I was speaking to a man in a male-dominated industry the other day who told me he wanted to take parental leave when his wife gave birth to their child.

Yesterday I read something that had its intended effect.
