Summary:
"Why do mothers wake first when their baby cries at night? Why do fathers take so little time off work to bond with their newborn babies? Why are mothers never praised for being ‘hands on’? Is there a biological difference in mothers’ and fathers’ parenting instincts? Why do nurseries and schools often call mothers first when there is a problem? Why don’t we expect fathers to have a more active role in caring for their children? As a new father and Head of Investigations at The Times, Paul Morgan-Bentley found himself lying awake in bed one night after settling his three-month-old back to sleep. With all these questions buzzing in his mind, he decided to go a mission to answer them. Drawing on his own personal experience of fatherhood -- from the utter joy and terror Paul and his husband felt caring for their newborn son, to the chemist who calls Paul ‘MummyDaddy’ and the juggle of nursery pick-ups with work deadlines, Paul delves into what it really means to share the parental
load
. With a range of case studies, research from around the world, and conversations with leading scientists, The
Equal
Parent
explores the truths behind the falsehoods about parenting roles -- and why challenging these myths to achieve parenting equality will benefit all of mothers, fathers and, most importantly, our children."--Publisher.
