On October 9th an article was released in Science Daily reporting that a study published in "Sex Roles" entitled "Dads are often having fun while moms work around the house." As noted in the summary, "For the first time, researchers have evidence of exactly what dads are doing while moms are taking care of housework or tending to their child. The results will be disappointing for those who expected more gender equity in modern society."
