It's not easy being a parent. And being a father can be doubly difficult these days as roles for men and women are shifting and more and more men feel the pressure for success both at work and at home. The same goes for diaper changes and evening baths and washing clothes. Women are staples in the work force today.
Men tend to work nearly as much as they always have.
And they are expected to be no less successful at their jobs now than ever. This complex conflict between work and home is new to many men. Women have endured it for years. It is a measure of a man in how he holds these duties in balance, how he gives his best at work and to his family. They simply can't handle the responsibility.
