Striving for Equally Shared Parenthood

NY Times: Motherlode blog: Parents as Teammates, by Lisa Belkin:

Speaking of equal parenting, last week’s letter from the mom who was disappointed in her husband’s parenting, while he was angry that she was the favored parent, brought a thoughtful letter from Marc and Amy Vachon. They guest-post periodically on Motherlode, and their book, “Equally Shared Parenting: Rewriting the Rules for a New Generation of Parents,” is a primer on a collaborative lifestyle.

The problems this couple have, they would argue, can’t be understood without looking at the larger cultural context. . . .
