"The number of fathers who do not work outside the home has risen markedly in recent years, up to 2 million in 2012."
Breadwinner Moms

"A record 40% of all households with children under the age of 18 include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income for the family, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The share was just 11% in 1960."
Fathers' brains can adapt to become more maternal, study finds

"The brains of men who bring up children can alter to take on the characteristics of both a mother and father, according to new research."
Father's brain is sensitive to childcare experiences

So it's okay for women to go out into the work force, but it's not okay for men to be stay-at-home dads? And the double standard lives on.
I know, right. Got a friend that lives in a "progressive, upstanding, tolerating" neighborhood and he's a stay at home dad. His wife makes six figures. He is treated by his neighbors as if he was a different color in a racist community. And his neighbors say they aren't sexist....
Smh.
ElementZephyr
Because for so long men have been seen, and still are in many regards, as the one who is REQUIRED to work at all times. Any kind of deviation from that makes them look like less of a man apparently : /
***** I think it is generally more accepted that women have a decent job than that men are stay-at-home dads. Sure, those who think women shouldn't work probably think men shouldn't stay at home, but I think plenty of people who accept women to earn six figures have a hard time accepting a stay-at-home dad
It's not double standards it's natural course of life. Working and providing for family is too much stress for womans delicate body and psychic it's science. Women are more nurturing by nature. It's in mans nature to provide, protect and be leader of his family.
@@stevewolf7480 The video is literally said that the psychology is changing in both genders...
I'm a stay at home dad. It's harder than a job, but more rewarding too.
TAKE THIS L AND CHOKE ON IT LOSER
So you admit being a stay at home parent isn’t a job I see
Don’t be delulu.
Becoming a Dad for the 1st time was the defining moment in my life, Suddenly i was responsible for two little bundles of joy and it was humbling, now 12 years after that definitive moment things are starting to move a little bit faster than i had bargained for, My two little Princesses are fast growing into two very Inquisitive little adults :)
gaaay
Victor Diaconescu Every human is a homo sapien, so if you think about it, we're all homo, including you.
Victor Diaconescu Ha Gaaaayyy
My son just turned 1, and I know how you feel stargazer.
Congrats sir, you're a great dad!
I imagine myself as a stay-at-home dad in the future when computer related jobs become more common and working at home becomes popular.
Good for you.
Stay at home dad and working? Lol x) Having children crying and tugging at your side while you try to work, your going to witness the stress level of a woman. Thats is some intense shit right there.
My best friend & her hubby do it! They each work part-time opposite days of the week. Don't scoff at the guy for wanting to do something so valuable!
A guy can do it but it willl just be harder for them to adapt to that stress level. Women are more equipped to be multitasker's naturally. Mens brains have to adjust ↑
Looooooool here we are
I didn't appreciate how Chastity at the end pretty much called guys stupid by saying " figure out how the washer work". I'm male and I wash my own cloths. It's not hard to do. Yet she can something sexist like that and get away with it? If a guy say something sexist to a girl they'll be judging the hell out of them, but vise versa is ok?
Some can't take a joke
I'm a male and I can barely use the microwave, take a joke, you're just as bad as those femi-nazis
It's because men don't bitch about
jesse wright true
Cool, you learned how to use a washer. Now learn to take a joke. By the way.. saying that someone don't know how to do/use something don't mean she's saying they're stupid.
'and get away with it?', you want me to call the cops on her?
Men should have the skills necessary to live alone anyway--i.e. washing dishes, manually or by machine, doing laundry, and cooking.
Washing dishes and doing laundry are not skills, those are chores... cooking is the only skill on that list.
I like how 90% of the audience here either completely ignores the topic of the video, and half of those that DO comment on the topic just make wild assertions without backing up their claims and making themselves look like uneducated trolls =/
Personally, I would LOVE to be a stay at home dad. I may not know how to cook or do most chores competently, but I'd be willing to learn, plus any job I'd take would probably be one I could do from home (software engineering of some kind) and I would REALLY want to help take the load of the kids off my wife so she could rest easily
very nice comment to read...hope u get to do that ;)
Agreed. I'd personally be fine being a Stay at home Dad, as I love playing and helping with kids. Sadly when I was a teen offering to babysit nobody wanted a guy. Also, unless you're a friend or relative, people will assume I'm some kind of pedophile if I even smile at a kid. What has society come to?
Very nice comment :)
louie maldonado Holy cow. You sound like one of those dumb jocks in high school that has super low self esteem about their sexuality so they go around talking about how much they are going to bang other females like a horny puppy.
Suku919 exactly !!! Derrrr hahaha
When a woman does something gender opposite -- they're cheered. When a man does something gender opposite -- we're criticized.
The difference between the study of gay and heterosexual fathers illustrates the tragic fact that our culture stigmatizes men who are nurturing, emotionally aware and intelligent, empathetic, etc. For whatever reason our culture feminizes these attributes and so a man who displays such things are conditioned to believe that they are compromising their masculinity/heterosexuality, when that should not be true.
I don't think they can control which area of their brain have increased activities...
If I decided to get a girl pregnant, then after she has the baby, I should have the right to be a stay at home dad to collect child support from the mother.
lol. Good luck. My ....creature who gave birth to me... was clinically insane and known for violence, and still won custody, until I finally ran away. It's a stereotype that even the worst mother is better than the best father. Absolutely shameful.
I think you are confusing custody (when a couple breaks up and the child has to live with one of them) with a couple who are still together.
If you and the girl break up and when you get to keep the child (aka you get custody) the mother has to pay child support.
The video is about fathers who are still together with the mother or another dude, so neither get custody.
If your girlfriend/wife goes out to work and you stay at home to care for your child(ren) she gives you money to do stuff with for you and the child. That's not called child support, it's just a budget you get from the breadwinner.
exactly, Rooij. But, I chose not to correct them, as it would be a pain to. lol
Thank god Laci isn't covering this.. she'd probably say stay at home fathers oppress their wives by forcing them to work.
are you saying that because she`s a feminist? go look it up, feminism is equal rights for both sexes. I`m sure she`s all for eliminating the stay at home parent female gender association
irradiatedbadger Feminism is for gender equality like the Soviet Union was for economic equality; it says one thing but does another. In the end all they boil down to is: "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".
I've actually heard that one before. Putting it simply, behind the feminist tinted glasses it's always heads women win, tails men lose.
you're an idiot
No, no she wouldn't.
My whole life kids have been a shining and happy thing for me, and I'm a guy. Just seeing a smiling baby or a happy, energetic toddler makes my day more than anything. When I become a father, I'll be more than willing to be a stay-at-home dad. I'd be more than willing to do the chores, change the diapers, and clean up the messes. It'd be more than worth it when I see my boy or girl standing up in front of the crowd accepting his/her diploma.
Of course, it's not "manly" to love kids and want to be with them according to society, so I've gotten some flak.
I am proud to be a stay at home dad. Although, now that our kids are starting school, I am planning on going back to work.
I would love nothing more than to be a stay-at-home father. Not only can we parent just as good, but we can fix shit around the house at the same time. No waiting till dad gets home to fix the washing machine, I'll do that between spongebob and nap time.
If anything we're better suited for it because we'd get more done.
Man, I just posted nearly the same, and with the Spongebob then nap reference, eerily mirrors part of our usual routine. Shows what the REAL stereotype of fathers should really be portrayed as, eh?
I hope adoption agencies take note of this video. I'm sick and tired of being told that I can't adopt simply because I'm a single guy. I would love to have a child!
I definitely think that having one or other parent at home is better than the child having to be in childcare. But my best friend & her husband both work part-time on opposite days, sharing the childcare between them. This works out really well for them & the kids clearly enjoy being able to spend time with Dad when Mum's at work just as much as they enjoy being able to spend time with Mum when Dad's working.
I'm glad that stay at home fathers are starting to gain more acceptance in modern western society. For a man that's living with an invisible disability, but can still function well enough to take care of his children, it's a blessing. As long as the mother can function as the financial provider, & doesn't mind her husband playing the role of a house father. Hiring a baby sitter, çdr a maid, would be unneeded, and if your husband can cook to, it's not a bad deal. Most housewives would agree, that babysitting, & home maintenance, is a job in itself. Only you don't get a paycheck. The most you can hope for is a genuinely grateful partner that shows their appreciation for what you do.
Seeing that their changing the way new generations will slowly change for the better, warms my heart.
I am now a stay at home father; my wife is working on a great career and after 17 years in the workforce I (all of us, nationwide closings) was unceremoniously let go where I was. My kids get discipline, nurturing, protection and guidance all day from me, and this time with them while they are mere babies (we also plan on home schooling until charter school age at least) is something I wouldn't give up for the world, that not many fathers get.
I must say, I do have an edge or two though, I am prior military and after that became a Nationally Certified Youth and Child Care Worker and a MAB (Managing Aggressive Behavior) Master Trainer...working with disadvantaged, neglected and abused kids 20 at a time, makes my two at home easy cakes.
My two toddlers automatically started singing the "Helping Daddy Clean Up" song and picked up their toys, cheered, and hugged each other without any prompting when I got their chairs out for lunch (one of our many routines, but today was a first for doing it without prompts) and that was the best Fathers Day present I could have ever asked for.
Mothers can never be replaced by Fathers-It is the law of nature
I'd say the finding suggest that because different aspects of caregiving require different skills, adopting certain roles creates the wiring for those roles, so it does not necessarily reflect the sex or gender of the parent.
i use to be a dad, but not anymore.
All of my children have blown up in the word of ALLAH.
I'm now a Single stay at home dad.
Lets all pray to Allah.
How did they blow up?
And why you making mockery of a religion deliberately!?!!!!
i used to be a father too until i took a arrow to the knee.
Don't feed the troll.
WTF DID I READ.
Hahs troll or actually serious?
It's all fun and games until the dad takes his child to the park and people think he is a pedophile... Appearently that's no uncommon our society.
So the debate about parenting is sort of demolished by this.. it's not about whether you have two parents, male and female, or even male and male or female and female, or just male or just female. Because in the end, our brains are able to adapt to what's necessary. So it's about how good of a parent one is. Knowing this is healing me now cause now I can let go of my not growing up with a mom AND a dad... My mom was enough.
I wouldn't mind becoming one as long as there's enough money flowing in to support everyone.
stay at home dad = dream job
A stay at home father show! Yay, im one of their statistics!
Feminism: It's not sexism if it's against men!
So scientifically speaking I am a good stay-at-home father candidate? I don't like children or housework but Hell, family comes first.
So, show my daughter how unhappy I am doing household chores, so she'll avoid it like the plague later in life? lol
You know what would go really well with this video? An analysis and links to studies on whether or not having a stay at home parent at all is a good thing. Personally, I don't think it is.
im disabled... internet addiction.
What if the mother and father trade-off who stays at home? Perhaps the mother stays at home during infancy, and then father stays at home for adolesce. And then they switch roles again. Seems like that would provide a good balance.
The child would bond closer to the mother since she was the childs source of care throughout infancy years. She would be caring for the child more often and the child would get older more attached to mim than dad. It kind of explaims why when women couldnt work, kids would often fear their father more because he would usually just work....and probably expect either a drink, household news or sex from his wife when he got home before going asleep :P
What are you talking about I do ALL the dishes and laundry. :P
Now I understood why my father cried when I am leaving town while my working mom cheering me up.
Science says that something is good. Now, force people to do this or that.
I'm all for staying at home when I get children but I don't think that people should be forced into doing that by tempting dads to stay at home in exchange for money that was originally taken from them - like in Sweden.
Society gets better once coercion, including political coercion, gets eliminated.
I guess sweden with their unparallelled quality of life index has it totally wrong.
jez evans Sweden sounds like a really nice place to live. But I did hear that there is a growing Neo-Nazi movement there.
Jack Sander
Yes that's true, a right wing response to the lenient immigration laws. Although I wouldn't presume it to be anymore threatening than extremists in the US.
The Nordic countries have mandatory Paternal leave because businesses in general (specifically American businesses) refer to a very special formula that lowers the pay of Women by 23% because Women can "have" children, and the chance that a woman will have children, without accounting for being sterile.
Yeah fuck anti-slavery laws, they should have let the south just come to it in its own time, right? Don't be stupid. People get set in their ways and sometimes (when there's two sides and one has to give up a bit of dominance, like white people or males) it does take a bit of coercion to speed things up cause there will be resistance. From both the dominators and sometimes some dominated who prefer to live in denial and envy (there's plenty of sexist women who hate on feminists, for example).
I thought the two father household portion of the study would be great to send to my state's elected officials but I had trouble finding all of the relevant information in the study that I thought I should mention in the message. In particular I couldn't find information on the functions of the parts of the brain they mentioned. Has anyone else taken a stab at it? It's a really useful science-backed counterpoint to an often raised point made by those opposed to same-sex marriage and parenting.
so wait totally ok for women to be sexiest to men, but give shit to men for sexism! DAH FUCK if i was to say to a women "do them dish's and figure out how the washing machine works" i would get shit for that and so would any other person.
So ignorant. I can't even.
ignorant about what?
Some people just have absolutely no conception of what discrimination and prejudice actually is. The answer is not an all sides must be equal philosophy. We tried that already, it was called segregation (separate but equal). Now most of us have evolved to realize it's about reconciliation for a pervasive bias in society. What is racist or sexist for one group may not be racist or sexist for another group. When you wrap your mind around why this is a fact then you will finally grasp the situation at its core.
jez evans I think i grasp the situation.
What I grasp is, I will still treat women with the same respect as men, and won't give either of them special treatments.
Because giving them special treatment is dumb.
It is important to understand that sexism is more than mutual respect, but also includes the system of oppression and systematic sexism that females have going against them. Sure, we should respect each other, but to pretend than a male telling a girl to stay in the kitchen is the same as a girl doing so is quite childish. It completely leaves out the historical background of the issue.
Why did I not see anything about work-at-home dads? This is also something newer and growing in popularity.
I earn more than almost any of my friends and I don't even need to leave the house if I don't want to. I assume I'll spend quite a lot of time at home with my kids when I eventually have them.
Wow. This was a fascinating episode!
I don't know, with the way things have been going this country with gun violence in school and academic settings... maybe its what the country needs is men raising the kids.... I know for dam sure when I was growing up I was way more afraid of my dad than I was my mom... also was more likely to be a little shit when dad wasn't around than when mom was. This could be exactly what the country needs.. (America that is)
These news/studies/facts made me so happy that I got tearfully =')
Men do this. Woman do that. Feminists do this. Homosexuals do that. When we generalise, we're technically both right and wrong. This comments section makes me sigh.
In some Native American cultures, the "two-spirits" have traditionally been tasked with babysitting and helping with children. They were good at it and it made them happy. This could explain why.
There is no mandatory paternity leave in Sweden... It was argued for over 2½ years ago by a small, almost non-existent party in Sweden that used to call themselves communists that it should be mandatory, but that's not likely to catch on. See, people aren't really that keen on being constantly told what to do by Big Brother. The same party argued for a ban on men peeing while standing up in public bathrooms, men paying extra taxes to make up for the wage gap and other fun stuff.. Hard to tell why they are not that popular!
I don't see how paternity leave is bad bit the other stuff ouchhh someone was out to get them :D
It is bad. Think about it: The government forces the man to stop working without taking into account the living situation of the family. That's not good. What if the wife is working part time because of an injury or is a stay at home mother and the family relies on the man working? At the moment, money is put aside so that 100% of the man's salary can be paid out for two months, which is a better solution in my opinion. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. You give the man a choice instead of forcing him, that lends itself better for families to decide themselves rather than having something enforced upon them.
There are apparently a lot of different ways people are perceiving and evoking feminism. There is so much hate down here that it's scary.
Anyone else think he wasn't going to say aspirations but stop at the first syllable
Nice name: Chastity 👌.
And Happy father's day 🙏.
this was a nice father's day video, speaking of which I have a simply AMAZING father's day video I made myself, it doesn't have bad animation AT ALL! ok I am sorry to do this since most people don't like seeing comments like this but I did do a video for father's day and it would be great if some of you watched it, thanks.
figuring out how the washing machine works?.. we may seem uninterested but certainly not stupid
I'm 100% sure that pewdiepie will be a home father when he is married since his job is in yt and got 6 million subscribers.
That's pretty flippen cool
What? Wait? Those things don't just auto wash my clothes!
It's Father's Day in the UK too but the only thing is it's 1am ye.....
i had a run-away-from-home-and-never-came-back dad :)
I wouldn't mind being one but I still hope there would be money for everyone and their needs. And you know, the internet. Maybe in the future there would be more legit work-at-home jobs?
There are many legitimate work at home jobs, particularly those that revolve around office/clerical/finance work. It's called telecommunication. However, many many businesses haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet.
ElementZephyr Yeah I know that, the price is horrible though... I get 100-400 a month.
Ever heard of internet marketing? Even this TH-cam channel makes money online. Or eBay. Or Google Adwords. Those are some obvious examples.
toshtao1 Yeah but like I said, the price is horrible. Investment wouldn't be too bad. I have an eBay but first I need a PayPal, which isn't letting me create an account for some reason. And I don't have anything to sell.
Klaty Ever heard of affiliate marketing? Promtoe other people's products and earn a commission. However, I should warn you, there is a LOT of trial and error when it comes to an online business. You will fail a lot before you succeed.
The rainbow connection!!!
I love when sience shoots down big ships full of myths and lies like flies!
Whoa, Trace said Portugal, that's rare XD Portugal!
#therainbowconnection lol
I know a lot of gay couples who have been together for at least a decade, and their parenting skills far exceed those of any heterosexual couples (mine included :-/) If I could choose my parents, I would choose a gay couple. :p haha
Ikr. Sexuality doesn't make you better or worse at parenting so I don't see why it's even a debate. My baby-sitters/backup-guardians were a lesbian couple and there were never any issues whatsoever.
I'm not sure why it was necessary to reference a public opinion poll but ok. That's kind of a different field of study.
But are dreams good? They are the most damaging thing to humanity. But possibly the greatest... Im so conflicted on weather having dreams are good or evil.
YEAAAAH! PORTUGAL!!!
I expected more Dad jokes. DNews, I am disappoint ಠ_ಠ
I wanna be a stay-at-home-father.
I feel a hate storm brewing...
If you live with your mom you are more likely to become gay that is for men and it's not that because you know mom is a female and you are a male and she tries to teach you and etc. No, it's actually a lot more deep and complicated to explain but it has to do with what was on this video about the brain. (it's not fact just a thing that I've heard from many gay men. Why did i read or hear this? because I am gay myself duh)
Hey, I was going to comment that about Sweden... but now you already told that, what should I write now? ^^
Bring me at least some beers when you come home,woman
that study seems flawed. With dads survey it sounds like you asking if stay at home dads are better then stay at home moms. But with the moms study it seems like your asking is stay at home moms are better then no stay at home parents at all . I know this isn't what they are asking but it seems like that is how a lot of people would interpret it. Does anyone else agree?
I think that's awesome!
I'm not a stay at home dad but I do long hours and less days so I get more time at home with my girls so they do have a good relationship with my wife and myself almost equally... she works too... I think that is important and I'm not 100% sure what good or bad it will do to them but it can't be bad if u ask me...
its men that built the dishwasher and showed women how to operate it. sounds like laziness. doesnt keep ur kids from wanting to dream big. its called chores for a reason and its discipline. sounds like more feminist BS.
OK, so daughters get higher aspirations if they have fathers who do the dishes. What about sons?
I'd love to be a stay at home dad as long as my partner was making more than me. Get to play video games! XD
This is great news!
Chastity were u also not the associate producer for Tech Feed too?
They said Portugal Hurray :D
Stay home ? I would like to have a father that lives in my house..
Wow.
Id like to have one dad, and not a step dad but noooooo
Hahahaha!
So... if the father does chores then the child is more likely to do something with their lives? That explains a lot, since I don't know what to do when I grow and up and my dad does almost nothing. :/ And he's pretty much a stay-at-home dad now.
(I'm not even a girl, though)
Oh yea! Gay dads are the ULTIMATE dads!
XD fuckin died laughing at 2:35
The daughters get inspired to get paid and find boy toy husbands.
how should i know what i want to be when i grow up, i personally have no idea
Second sunday of november is Faders Day here..
Was athome step-father for 3 years..
But you know how some girls are, not ready for a family even tho they themselves have children, and so they go out and party all the time and even do the did.. so yeah that was then, sad for the children tho...
you know, i think everyone needs to mind there own business and live there own lives and not worry about this shit, or ive just been smoking to much pot
I can't imagine myself staying at home.... It'd be too boring.
Yes, change is coming. Like today i'm drinking black coffee... I ran out of sweetener, this is terrible.
I know how the washing machine works, thank you. >.>
is anybody else having problems watching there videos? everytime i click one of there new ones in just has a black screen with the loading symbol..
why did you colourcorrect this video so blue?
Father's Day is the 7th of September...?
Great the day before Farther's day
I have always wanted to be a stay at home dad, I don't like the idea of having a job/wasting like 70% of my life away in a office or other job location, but it might just be my submissive personality too but eh...
Love that Danger Mouse T
O have always been for men a care givers because it is good for their emotional development and good for families! with equality between men and women everything is made better!
I am kinda a stay at home Step Dad but I actually work from home so since I am employed not sure if that counts or not?
Being a stay at home dad for babies/toddlers fucking sucks, that is a fact...
Why is there so much red in this video?
Oh my god I'm in love. She should show that gorgeous face more often!! & she's short too?!?! 😍😍😍😍
