<p>Several of my female friends divorced because they were tired of carrying all the parenting load as well as working full-time (among other things). Their spouses DID spend more time & energy with the kids after the divorce. They have all moved on with their lives and all four of them have remained single, while all of the men shortly thereafter got into new relationships and three of them remarried.</p>
<p>Most of the women we know do marry before deciding to start a family and have their spouses actively involved with their kids. Perhaps it’s a cultural & class thing? It is difficult to raise a family on a single paycheck around here.</p>
