– For generations, fathers were kept away from household chores and child-rearing responsibilities because they were supposed to be radically and definitively bad at those jobs. It seems that this old stereotype is evolving and that the traditional dumb dad is becoming smart enough for laundry and cooking… and EVEN to take care of the children! 

– According to a Pew research, in most two-parent families in the U.S., both parents are working outside the home at least part-time. And in a growing number of those households, fathers are the ones who handle the domestic and parenting duties. For example, between 1995 and 2011, the number of stay-at-home dads has tripled, rising from 64,000 to 176,000. A revolution may be underway.
