Dads actually work more than Moms

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. Dads are sometimes labeled as lazy couch hounds, but it turns out they don’t deserve to be. Researcher Robert VerBruggen looked at data surveys which track how we as Americans spend our days. Contrary to what many people think, VerBruggen found that adding up paid work, housework, child care, and even shopping dads do about 59 hours of work per week, while moms do about 55. Even when mom and dad both work outside the home, dads still work slightly more. Men do less work at home, but more on the job. VerBruggen concludes, “We should stop whining about dads as a group not doing their share of the work their families depend upon - because that’s not true.” And don’t forget you can pick up my book on fatherhood, The Boy To Man Book, at afastore.net.
