1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stop Mom? Never told you? 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: From house Stop works dot Com. Hey, and welcome to 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: the podcast. This is Molly and I'm Kristen. And Kristen. 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of a bummer. We've started lots 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: of podcasts this way, but their session it's affecting everyone. 7 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: You know, you see all sorts of stories about it. 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: But I've been interested in this crop of stories popping 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: up about not how their session affects the workplace, but 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: how it reflects in the home, not just tighter spending, 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: not just cutting back at restaurants and grocery stores, but 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: actually the dynamics in the home, right Molly, I think 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: what you're referring to is is this kind of rash 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: of trend pieces about at home dads who were forced 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: out of their job because they re session and now 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: they are staying at home while the wife is out 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: working and is the new breadwinner. Um And I think 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: the most telling statistics to talk about is the fact 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: that of job losses from the recession have befallen men. 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: And that's according to the Bureau of labor statistics, and 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: to some extent, this is because men are in industries 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: that haven't really stood up on their session manufacturing, construction jobs, 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: whereas women are in uh, slightly more recession proof jobs 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: that involve education, healthcare, things that we can't really afford 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: to have cutbacks on. Right. But at the same time, 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, we still have the same kind of issues 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: with with female employment where uh we're working fewer overall 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: hours and more likely to have part time jobs without 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: health insurance or unemployment insurance, which is probably one of 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: the reasons another reason why they're more recession proof. Right. 31 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: So a lot of people are you know, looking at 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: these statistics and being like, oh, this is such, you know, 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: great news for women because they're finally closing the gender 34 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: gap in the workplace. There. You know, it's fifty split 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: in terms of men and women in the workplace. But 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: that's not really the whole story. It's you know, it's 37 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: a sad story for men. But there was sort of 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: hope that if you could find a silver lining in this, 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: maybe it was that men were staying home with the 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: kids more and it would help out sort of with 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the genderal dynamic exactly. Um, because a lot of these 42 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: trend stories that we're talking about have have looked not 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: only at the number of men who are getting laid 44 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: off and are ending up at home, but actually how 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: they're spending their time at home. And I think that 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: if you look at that, just seuse anecdotal cases, um, 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: it says a lot about whether or not this is 48 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a permanent shift towards more men taking um 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: more responsibility at home. Yeah, it's actually kind of troubling, Kristen. 50 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 1: You know, women might be the sole breadwinner, but they're 51 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: still remaining responsible for all the domestic responsibilities. For example, 52 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: here's a stat we got from the New York Times. Um, 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: when women are unemployed and looking for a job, they 54 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: still have to do all the work at home. They're 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: taking care of the children, housework, Their work at home 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: basically doubles, So it's not like they're unemployed per se. 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: But when a man is unemployed at home, his childcare 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: duties are virtually the same as when he was working 59 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: forty to sixty hours a week, And instead of spending 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: more time you know, with the kids are cleaning, they're 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: spending their time sleeping, watching TV. Looking for a job right, 62 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: they're more they're more apt to consider that process of 63 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: finding a job, hunting something down as their new full 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: time job at home, and might be um a little 65 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: less prone to taking out the trash more or cleaning 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. And I thought one of the 67 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: most interesting parts about all this was reading the comments 68 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: that were attached to this New York Times article, because 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: it seemed like overwhelmingly like, uh, you know, there are 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: some women who were sticking up for their husbands and saying, 71 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: he's been great since he's been at home, I've been 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot more stressed out, and he's really you know, 73 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: taking up more of the household duties. But by and large, 74 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: it was a lot of people complaining, like women complaining 75 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: that their men weren't doing enough at home and men 76 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: complaining that their wives were on their backs about finding jobs. 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: So of course they're not going to be you know, vacuuming. 78 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna be online posting their resume and looking for 79 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: job openings. And overall, most people were saying that they 80 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: have not reduced the amount of out of home childcare 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: that they paid for, which I thought was pretty telling. 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: So even though we have all these articles about how 83 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: the number of stay at home dad's h skyrocketing. We're 84 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: really not seeing that at home it's making that big 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: of a difference. Right, There's still a pretty pretty large 86 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: complain about um from women saying that, you know, we're 87 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: still having that quote unquote second shift of after work. 88 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: We we have to come home and take care of 89 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: the household duties. But by the same token, um, some 90 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: of these articles are also reporting that maybe women just 91 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: aren't giving men enough leeway to take more control. Yeah. 92 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: The more I read these articles about stay at home 93 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: dads in this new trend, the more it seemed like women, 94 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: even though they're in the workplace more, are very hesitant 95 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: to give up this role of being sort of the 96 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: maternal primary caregiver. Uh. There was a Forbes article that 97 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: had an anecdote about a man who took his child 98 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: to the doctor, Um, you know, got a diagnosis, got 99 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: a prescription, took the child home, and he just felt 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: great because he'd been there for his kid. Um, you know, 101 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: he'd really been able to figure out what was wrong 102 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: and care from And when the mom got home, she's 103 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: kind of you know, u's lack of a better term, 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: she kind of flipped out took the kid to a 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: different doctor, I got a different diagnosis, got a different prescription, 106 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: and sort of, you know, the anecdote kind of implied 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: that she was uncomfortable letting go that control of her child. 108 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: It definitely seems like we're having a new challenge to 109 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: these stereotypical gender roles, like women might be out in 110 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: the workplace. According to that same Forbes article, um it 111 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: said that women are now the primary breadwinners in nearly 112 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: a third of double income homes in the United States, 113 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of stigma surrounding um women 114 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: out in the workplace, uh, bringing home the bacon and 115 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: the men at home cooking it. Yeah, and even with 116 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: um you know, like let's say the stay at home 117 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: dad takes his kid to carpool lane. He's not amilia 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: being accepted by all the other moms who are in 119 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: the same position. He's being viewed with suspicion. A lot 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: of these art close talk about men who aren't invited 121 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: to play groups. Say, you know, when they're just picking 122 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: out clothes for their kids at stores, they get looks like, 123 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's a child predator. Like women are 124 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: not willing to sort of accept that men can be 125 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: in this role. Um. And a lot of this discussion 126 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: has has focused on like the dual parent households. But 127 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: there is an interesting stat also from the Bureau Labor 128 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: Statistics that said that at least two million dads in 129 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: the US take primary responsibility for taking care of that 130 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: their children. And that takes into account a lot of 131 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: single dads who are fighting for more paternity rights in 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: divorce cases, who are shouldering not only the role of 133 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: being the breadwinner, but also being the primary caregiver as well. 134 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: So I think that indicates that if you do it 135 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: a certain way, it can be done correctly. An article 136 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: in the Monitor on Psychology from the American Psychological Association 137 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: agrees with that fact, Molly Um. According to the Monitor 138 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: on Psychology from the American Psychological Associate Asian Um, in fact, 139 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: some stay at home fathers can actually make for a 140 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: better marital relationship aside from the stigmas that they have 141 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: to face. Um. These studies that they have done said 142 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: that the relationships between husbands and wives are actually benefiting 143 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: from uh from these well planned at home dad's. Now, 144 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: maybe those are stats from males who chose to stay 145 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: at home as opposed to males who have been forced 146 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: home by this recession, which is how we sort of 147 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: started this topic. But whether it's by choice, whether it's 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: not by choice, it seems that the tip to success, 149 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: based on these articles we've read, and you know, Christ 150 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: and I spent some time prusing a few daddy blogs, 151 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: there's a ever increasing community of stay at home dad 152 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 1: online networks. But the key to this into marital happy 153 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: really seems to be that you do not adopt the 154 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: philosophy that a stay at home dad is Mr Mom. Yeah. 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: That was something that that popped up in a few 156 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: articles said just don't call him Mr Mom. And it 157 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: was kind of that thing that we were talking about before, 158 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: where this is challenging stereotypical gender roles a little bit. 159 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: And uh, men who are staying at home, especially by choice, 160 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: don't just want to be considered like male nanny's right, you. 161 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: They want to maintain sort of that you know, stereotypical 162 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: masculine attribute. They're more likely to probably parent their children differently. 163 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: And I want to be seen as like a dad 164 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: at home as opposed to a Mr Mom. Yeah, and 165 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: there was an interesting point raised in UH an article 166 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: in the Boston Globe, and it's said that what children 167 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: need are adequate financial and emotional resources in short, stable 168 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: environments that is not contingent on gender or biology. And 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: I think that that's that's a pretty important part of 170 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: this whole whole debate. Right, we don't necessarily need a 171 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: mom at home, We just need a good parent at home. 172 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: So to answer a question, m hm. So to answer 173 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: our question, Kristen, I don't really know that the recession 174 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: is going to change gender roles long term domestic dynamics 175 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: long term, because it seems like you're still going to 176 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: come home from work and been into a certain box. Yeah, 177 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: And and it's that whole issue of men who are 178 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: being forced out of their job. They weren't electing to 179 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: quit their job, as you know, a high ranking executive 180 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: and come home and be being at home father. They 181 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: were they lost her job because of the recession. And 182 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: chances are if when the economy rebounds, those men are 183 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: going to find jobs again and they're going to to 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: leave the home. But I think that what we can 185 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: hope comes out of this is just sort of a 186 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: greater awareness of the domestic experient in general. You know, 187 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: I was reading an article about how you know, without work, 188 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: these men were sort of you know, becoming more involved 189 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: in schools and running for school board, and the administration 190 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: was expressing hope that you know, once these men went 191 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: back to the workplace, they still kept, you know, the 192 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: issues of schools in their mind. And there might actually 193 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: be something called the daddy tracks similar to the mommy track, 194 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: except you know, it's affecting obviously, like more men who 195 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: are choosing, like you said, if the if their wife 196 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: is making a significantly greater amount of money, these men 197 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: might choose to um, to stay home. And uh, it's 198 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of similar. Penalties are are coming up for men 199 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: who are choosing to do that and then go back 200 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: into the workforce after their kids are school aged. Um 201 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: that women have had to face for so many years now, right, 202 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: So maybe if you have someone who was forced out 203 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: due to a recession, he comes back, he's a little 204 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: more accepting. If a guy comes to him and I 205 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you know, I want to I want 206 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: flex time to stay at home with my kids. Um. 207 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: And and overall, I think that we can say that, 208 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, there has been a trend outside of the recession. 209 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: There has been a growing number about home dads UM 210 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: and that Monitor on Psychology article, it's said that the 211 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: numbers about home dads have grown more than six since 212 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: two thousand four, So it can't just be linked to 213 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: the recession. Obviously there are a lot more men at 214 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: home because the recession, but this has been a building 215 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: trend for a while, right, So just just to cover 216 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: our backs, we do want to know note that the 217 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: thing to keep in mind about trends as they do 218 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: not tell every individual story. You know, we may have 219 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: some stay at home dad's out there who have heard 220 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: this podcast and feel that we have not represent their 221 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: view at all that maybe they do, you know, participate 222 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: in the housework. So we're just throwing that out there. 223 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: So we don't have lots of angry emails, but we 224 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: do want email from you guys to hear your perspective 225 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: on this.
