I wonder how it is for those less involved wives! Anna, as I know you and your family, I do need to say that you have an involved husband, even if he’s traveling quite a bit of the time.

What hit home the most with me and my family is that women have entered into the workforce and still remain the primary figure in our children's lives. We may not be the primary caregiver because of nannies and added help but when it comes to mom or dad it is still mom first in many households. This is something that David Gregory also implied when he was talking about the reactions his children have to when their mother leaves or comes home; suggesting that she gets a bigger reception. I believe that this is true because women are nurturers and although men learn many things to make them equal contributors in home life this is not a trait that can be learned by most or that is inherent in most men. So women will continue to be the go to person in the home and they will continue to be the go to person in the office; because lets face it - women get the job done and done right;^) Caryn,
