Today we'll discuss the changes in roles performed by men and women in the family. Changes in family life have made men's and women's roles more alike than ever as the wives are also be responsible for the family finances.

Family experts say the old notions of who does what in the family may be more and more unclear. Men are not the sole breadwinners for the family like they used to be and they are becoming much more involved in housework and parenting

Because men and women's role in families have become more alike, for couples to balance their work and family life, perhaps, "equally shared parenting" is the best solution. "Equally shared parenting" means the "conscious and purposeful sharing" in domains of life:
