"What does your husband do when he walks in the door after work compared to what you do? Honestly, too many husbands are stuck in the 1950s, where women took care of all household duties while their partners put on their slippers and headed to their favorite chair. One newish dad, Logan Connell, shared what he does in the time between picking up his toddler at preschool and when his wife gets home from her job - and reader, he does not mess around!"
"The first thing he does after finishing his 8-5 job? He goes for a nice walk with his toddler and dog - getting everyone some sunshine and exercise. Then they feed the dog, make a sheet pan dinner, and empty the dishwasher. The whole time, his young daughter seems thrilled to be helping her dad keep the house in working order. Next, they take out the trash, eat dinner at a kids' table (adorable) and then wipe it down and do the dishes."
An involved father picks up his toddler after work and uses the hour before his wife's arrival to share household and childcare duties. He takes a walk with his toddler and dog, feeds the dog, prepares a sheet-pan dinner, empties the dishwasher, takes out the trash, and wipes down the kids' table. The daughter participates and seems delighted to help. The routine ends with bathing the child and putting on pajamas just before the mother's return. Observers praised the partnership model and highlighted the father's calm, patient interaction as crucial to the child's sense of safety and security.
