When my son was born, I went back to my newsroom job an hour away from our home, and my husband, a writer who worked from home, became the primary caregiver. He provided a stable, loving, calm environment for our son,
better than I could have. We did the tag team parent gig for many years. He and many if his male friends were super involved and good at housekeeping and childrearing. The fact that his mother in law gave up her job makes me wonder, what about JDs father-in law? What about JD? Ugh.
As a retired licensed marriage and family therapist, I totally agree. I never liked, nor did I recommend to clients that they read the Mars/Venus book. We are definitely more alike than unalike.
