The world is changing and so are traditional gender roles for men and women. Mom no longer must cook up the bacon with two kids hanging onto her apron while Dad is at work earning money to buy the bacon. Today, many Dads are proudly wearing the aprons. My thoughts? It's about time. But it may not be so simple. It's hard to tell which came first, the chicken or the egg. I think the emergence of the working mother has been a simultaneous phenomenon when it comes to the stay-at-home father.

Dads are taking more comfortable with the caregiving role, and economics have forced couples to make "non-traditional" decisions.

He does yard work, goes things, maintains the cars and just about everything," says Laura of her man.
