The key to work-life balance, no matter your gender, is a partner who is on board." I certainly could not agree more! “There you have it.

I can get dinner ready and clear up after without some one pulling on my pant leg. Some stay-at-home moms I know don't get the same assistance. Some men just aren't there yet.

The solution to balancing your life is a family issue not a mom's issue. My problem with the US News story was the use of the term helper. In our opinion, neither parent should be allowed the luxury of being the "helper". It presumes that the other parent is the Director and has all the responsibility for a smooth running home. We prefer the term partners who equally share in all aspects of parenting. Brian,
