Is there such a thing as equal parenting?
It's hard to imagine a husband and a wife sharing child-care, financial and domestic responsibilities in a perfect 50-50 split. 
But there's an organization out there, with a devoted following, dedicated to making sure parents split duties with perfect egalitarianism. Detailed in a New York Times article last Sunday that's been on the most e-mailed list for the past few days, the story explores how despite the best of intentions of our post-feminist generations, women inevitably end up doing more housework, curtailing their career ambitions and spending more time taking care of the kids.
That is my story, so of course I could relate to the statistics that showed the imbalance. I was intrigued, though, to see there are couples out there who don't accept that and have created detailed systems, with help from ThirdPath Institute, to divvy up responsibilities equitably and enthusiastically.
