Parents sharing childcare 50/50

[mears]

I have tried unsuccessfully to put this point on the 'GF - don't go stomping off etc' thread but for some reason it will not allow me to add a message.

Anyway - something I have noticed is that very few mumsnetters seem to share child/home care on an equal basis. I work 30 hours a week and dh works full-time shifts. That means for the majority of the time when I am working my children are looked after by their father. When our shifts clash then gran steps in. The downside to this is we are sometimes like ships that pass in the night but perhaps that is a good thing too. Dh I have to say hates his job but remains there because the shift pattern accomodates my work, therefore our childcare.
Does anyone else share childcare equally with dp/dh?

i think men should do most of the childcare .. after all it comes " natural to them " they are built better emotionally, i earn more than he does its the right decision he should give up his career or put it on hold after all i couldnt have done it without him now could i ( ok mebbe i could these days but it wouldnt be as much fun besides you get what im saying right?)

Err..no! Are you related to JBR perchance?

no lil im not. it was inverted humour that i used to amuse myself and i rolled around on the floor hysterically laughing at what i had posted ( this last sentance lil was me being sarcastic to clear things up)

I think this is all going over my head custardo. No offence, I guess I need more sleep.
