it is. which is why patriarchal society should acknowledge it, rather than shoving it in the closet with the women who are expected to take on most of the burden (and it wouldn't be such a burden if it was simply acknowledged for the labor-inducive 20+ year long job that it is).
that said, i think that now that there is more equality between the sexes than before (in the US at least) that couples are more faced with how difficult it is to spend enough time with one's child, maybe something will change? fathers too like to spend time with their children.
so now maybe it's more family vs. corporation rather than just mother vs. corporation and father = corporation. so far from what i've seen, the corporations are winning... but i don't think it's gone on for long enough yet for people to say "enough of this overbearing corporate shit."
