ighty percent of the men in my study of two-job couples had one thing in common. Like Evan Holt, Peter Tanagawa, Seth Stein, and Ray Judson, they didn’t share housework and child care. This introduced extra work for their wives and often tension in their marriages. The two men I describe in this chapter fully share the responsibility for and actual work around the house. They believe in sharing, and they take care of their children the way a “primary parent’* does. Their starting points differ drastically, as do their means of arrival, but the influence on their marriage and children is the same.
