Seems like there's alot of women I personally know at work, who state or complain that their hubbies never helped them raise their children..and hence, wouldn't know how to take care of a baby,children.

These are women in our age bracket.

I contrast this against the men I personally know well who are younger than my father (1 generation after him)...my partner, my 3 brothers-in-law, several hubbies of close friends, several cousin's husbands....these men would be comfortable looking after their young children when wife would disappear for most of the day or longer.

They are active in changing diapers, feeding the children, wiping their faces, toilet training, discipline as well..not just playing with them or shouting at them to "stop".

I would like to believe that things in shared childrearing have changed alot in our generation..at least in North America amongst those born here and westernized. But maybe not.
