Turns out married couples are fighting over more than equal parenting. According to CNN, when one spouse gets transferred the other 'trailing spouse' pays the price in lost income and job opportunities.
Despite the numbers of men choosing to stay home to take care of the kids, most couples still place the husband's career ahead of the wife's.
According to Daniel Buccino, a psychotherapist and faculty member at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, "Until more men are willing to say, 'You know, honey, you shouldn't
have to change your name or sacrifice your career, and I'll stay home
with our kids and aging parents,' progress will remain glacial."
Say amen somebody!
