Transition: Changing Roles of Men and Women
While many men are making a transition from the working field to becoming a stay at home dad, more women are also making the transition from being a stay at home mom to becoming a working class woman.

I do believe that it creates a balance between the two parents and it also helps build a bond between the whole families. The first couple of years are critical to a child and the mothers touch is a natural feeling for an infant up to the toddler stages. The men then began to build a bond with the child which is something a child can embark on as they grow.
During the 1950’s, it was traditional for the women to stay at home and tend to the daily house work and the men were the bread winners. I think that the majority of men who are choosing to be stay at home dads are taking advantage of the paternal leave benefits or have probably lost their jobs. I believe if that is the case then it is up to the other party to step in and work...
