STAY-AT-HOME DADS

For centuries, people believed that a woman's main role was to stay at home, do the housework and raise the children. Today, however, such responsibilities are shared between men and women. There is a change in the role that men and women play in the home. Nowadays, men are not the only ones that make a living and support the whole family. Because women have greater career options, more of them choose to work outside the home, and as a result, stay-at-home dads are becoming more common.

There are several benefits when a father stays at home and takes a more active role in the family. First of all, he can support his wife by sharing family responsibilities such as doing the housework and taking care of the children. By doing this, the wife can concentrate on her job and be able to earn a good salary. People also believe that fathers' spending time with their children is beneficial to their development. There are numerous activities in which both fathers and children can participate, such as sports, cars, tools, and so on. Engaging in such activities encourages a strong connection between fathers and children.​​
