Its not just the mothers job. Its the fathers too! They are just as much responsible as the mother is!

most people blame everything on the mother if anything goes wrong I think its wrong to do this men should get half the responsibility its not fair just because we carry the child we should be forced to do all the work

Alright, well this goes back to cave people, when the mother stayed around the cave to take care of the baby and grow and collect food while the men went out hunting...
This didnt exactly change over time, the woman still took care of the kid (also woman are the only ones that can breast feed) and basically stayed around/close to the home.
Today there's absolutely no excuse for men not to do their share, but society still has these fixed views on "woman's work".
It's not all men... my dad used to feed and change me in the middle of the night, and that was 20 years ago...
My grandmother (maternal) thought my mother was a terrible mother for letting my dad do the work...
Society is slow and stupid and is still stuck in the past...

everyone is different.
some men are bastards that couldn't care less aout their kids.
some love their kids to bits and would do anything for them.
my fiance has 4 kids [and 4 step-kids], he loves them all and would do anythign for them.
it's one of the things I love about him.

I agree, that fathers need to be more of a part of their children's lives. children need to have special time with their dads...and dads need to help with the diaper changing and disciplining.

I'm not trying to take women back to the 1950's or anything, but I think we forget about how much pressure guys are under. they are expected to have a job with which they can support their family. even if the mom has a job, men are still expected to be the main breadwinners for the family. being the main source of income is a huge deal and a lot of guys are very stressed by it. they feel stuck in their jobs and helpless. I think we need to remember that.

that said, again let me reiterate the fact that fathers need to help out around the house. women put in a lot more hours taking care of the kids and house than most fathers will ever put in at work.
