DEAR ABBY: I often wonder why men don’t take care of their children like women do.

In my life, I have only known one man who changed diapers, took naps and baths, took the children to daycare or school, attended most of the events of the child’s life. the child and was there for the child 24 hours a day. (This is the man I married.)

Most men I know think that all of the above is the woman’s sole responsibility, even if she works full time. I can only assume it dates back to caveman times or life on the prairie. — RATED IN INDIANA

DEAR VALUE: Ideally, childcare responsibilities should be shared. You didn’t mention your age, but over the past two decades I’ve been impressed to see fathers proudly carrying their babies in slings or pushing them in strollers. They also take older children to Sunday breakfast, their sporting events as well as professional sporting events.
I don’t know what their home life is like, and neither should you, but they seem very involved in their children’s lives. In decades past, men thought that working long hours to support their family was what they were supposed to do and were therefore less committed than your husband.
