| U.S. Dads More Open to Staying Home with Kids |
| Although only 1 in 20 American fathers took more than two weeks off from work after their most recent children were born, men seem increasingly comfortable with the role of stay-at-home dad, according to a survey of nearly 1,000 fathers by the Boston College Center for Work & Family. 53% of fathers responding to the survey said they would consider not working outside the home if this option were financially feasible. Fathers who spend more time with their children report having more confidence as parents, the researchers say. |
