46 h. ago Millennial dads are experiencing something mums have known for a long time | Gaby Hinsliff

Men want to be active, engaged parents, but many are being torn apart by the competing demands of family and workCan men really have it all? It’s a ridiculous question, obviously; a loaded assumption that women spent years clambering out from under. Mothers have worked long and hard to dispel the myth that anyone should be able to single-handedly juggle a job, children, a happy relationship and a meaningful life without ever breaking sweat or (more pertinently) needing help.And to some extent we have succeeded, judging by a survey of 5,000 UK fathers published this week by the charity Working Families which found three-quarters now say they genuinely want to share the parenting load equally with their partners. Except, it seems, the outside world has yet to catch up.Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
