Many people believe that both parents should take equal responsibility in raising a child. However, it seems that women are still shouldering far more household and childcare responsibilities than men across the world nowadays. Recently, three married Chinese men volunteered to participate in a ten-day experimental program, in which they got a better understanding of how their wives would feel during a month-long post-natal confinement period. Should more men be doing this? |
