They do not want to give up that day off, and I can't blame them. I remember when women were looking for liberation, and what they were looking for. Now it's here and a lot of people feel they got cheated. Women just got so much more than they bargained for. I'm not saying it from a non-feminist point of view.
Women just seem to be overloaded.
Remember, that when all this started, we were going to have house moms. Men were going to stay at home with the kids. It didn't work out that way. It's not that men don't do a ton more than they ever did, but the bottom line is women still end up running the household. I hear that all the time.
