This warms my heart, thanks for writing Julia! A note from a dad trying to be supportive: I also want to acknowledge the mothers that let dads take care of the kids their own way. While it is not possible to generalize, having observed dads with children, at least here in Scandinavia, they might do things differently. Letting fathers parent their own way and trusting them makes it much easier for dads to care for children. Someone mentioned interest in taking care of kids—this interest can be increased, in my experience drastically, by letting fathers take care of the kids in their own particular way (while somewhat anecdotal I am reminded of this article, in a society where dads take on more of a role and bring the kids to the pub equivalent).
