topic:Summary of “Changing Roles: Stay-at-home Dads”

According to the example of the Neil Walkingshaw, his wife told him that when her maternity leave ended she will return her position. Instead of hiring a babysitter, he wanted to take care of his own child. And the, he asked for his boss if he could change his business hours of each day for looking after child and his boss refused. But his boss agreed the same requires of the female employees. Then the tribunal awarded him fine.

It tells us that the concept is gradually changed though years. We often thought that woman should stay at home for cooking and taking care of children. But more researchers found that male plays an important role in children’s childhood. They believe that it can decrease crime rates if those criminal had father beside them when they were young.

Hi, Winni

I am Kathy. After I finished your artical, I found that you can catch the points in the artical. I read "Changing Roles: Story-at-Home Dads." too, that I really agree your opinions.

The word "Father" is usually equally the "mony kackes" in a family in the past. But now that is not a rule anymore.

Will you be the outside woman in the future? Or you will just be the traditional Mom?
