Life doesn't get any better than that. :cloud9:

It's not about what anybody likes though, is it. It's about what's right, what works.

The style I described has survived the centuries, the generations; your way will be lucky to survive *you*.

Oh, I don't know. If you could track the amount of time the average father spends taking care of his children over the years I'm pretty sure you would find a consistent and steadily increasing trend which started around the 50s and is alive and well even today.

And as things seem to keep getting better, it feels like that is a good thing that will continue. See BGS.

I would assume that like most of the developed world, they are declining.

But like fathers being more active in the raising of their children, I see this as a (mostly) good thing.

Then you'd be correct, twice; it's such a good thing that fewer and fewer people are choosing to do it :homer:
