Course, it doesn't have to be the woman

It's becoming increasingly common for the husband to be the primary caretaker while the Mom goes out and faces slays the dragons of the workplace.

And then there are those wonderfully self-sacrificing families where the parents work - but in different shifts. I imagine it can't be easy for the parents, but working together to accomplish something they both find worthwhile probably makes up a lot for their lack of time together.

If I'd have been better at work, or if my husband's office offered the same opportunities for flex time that mine does, I can see us in reversed roles - with mine as the primary income and his as the secondary. And someone nearly always home after school. Thank heavens it isn't, since I've turned into a screwup.

What makes today such a wonderful time is that the possibilities are endless. Thinking either/or isn't exploring the vastness the world has to offer.
