  Excuse me?.. I believe that the attitude above WAS the attitude of a lot
of our parents, only DAD was the one saying it!! (His job was over with
quickly and hers took a number of years...)

  Childrearing OUGHT to be a joint responsibilty, some times it is.
Unfortunately, there are still a goodly number of men who don't put 

in the amount of time with their children as do their wives ( or SOs)
