While I agree with the sentiment, I think the situation might be a bit different. They don't have things like disposable diapers, infant formula, baby food jars or day care to make things easier. Those are things that we modern women take for granted but are real time savers for us. Making baby food from scratch, for example, does take time. And jeez... diapers! Maybe that explains why they're always doing laundry...lol! Then that means the men *are* doing something for the kids.
