Well, I feel like there's a couple different layers that I think we don't realize always compounded

the mom's responsibility.

What's up, guys?

Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood.

So we want to talk about how did the parenting and child-rearing responsibility suddenly

fall more on the mother than the father?

A lot of us don't think of this as a new idea. But historically, it is a fairly new idea. And so what we see as oftentimes the

goal or the ideal from the 1950s, that was fairly new, even in the 1950s, that the mother was

sort of seen as the primary person that

cared about the home. And one person who's really done a lot of research along this Blankenhorn,

he wrote a book about fatherless families, and he said, God has given fathers a unique role

in the education of their children. The word discipline did not originally mean

punishment. It meant teaching. Just a few hundred years ago in colonial America, fathers bore the

ultimate responsibility for the care and well-being of their children. Fathers assumed primary

responsibility for what was seen as the most essential parenting task, the religious and moral education of the young.

As the Industrial Revolution removed men from the household economy, women became the primary

influence in the home. This shift has been one of the defining features of American domestic

life since the 1840s. And so if you think about this experiment

is almost about 150 years old, what happens when we make a collective decision to disintegrate

work from family, send the father out to work apart from the family, and then tell our wives and the mother that they're

the ones who need to pick up all the slack at home.

How is that working?
