Worried Mom
when my wife did something outside the
gender roles current western society has defined as a norm she used to crow as well but I would be hard put to identify any specifics a Once I shoveled the driveway and boy I don't think my husband heard the end of that for about 6 months.

Worried Mom
'Kate 'Kate wrote in message ... Wow.. what an incredibly hard group to find data on! I hadn't realized, in comparison, how many studies are generated by single-mother homes and nothing on single-father homes. Literally nothing. That is one of the reasons I spend time on this newsgroup. It is the only resource I have found where I can be in regular contact with other single fathers. I will never forget the lonely, almost desperate times during the first few years. Just knowing there were others out there seemed to help somehow. I found a nice article in the New York Times based on US Census info, info that I have too. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/17/na...8872400&en=6f7 663cc5ead9589&ei=5070 Note that it says that when fathers have custody, they're asked "What's wrong with the mother?" Yeah, that was a regular question when Freddie was a baby and toddler. Hasn't been asked for a year or so now though. You'll have to log in to get the article (likely) but the subscription is free. Thanks for that. I'll have a good look when I have some time. Life is still frantic ATM. This was on one of the father's rights websites: http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache...o-state.edu/un its/research/archive/singpar.htm+income+single+father+households&hl=en& ie=UT F-8 snip “People have assumed that the sex of the parent has a major effect on children’s development, but we found that isn’t the case,” he said. Re-assuring, but I think that in my situation, I already new it. “Researchers need to focus on other factors, such as family resources, which seem to have a real impact.” Any single parent could have told them that!
