If that is what a woman wants why doesn't she choose a man who could and would honestly answer in the affirmative. Why not keep looking until you find a man who would quit his job and stay home and take care of the kids while she advanced her career.

I think other things women look for in men are more important to them than how good a father they might be and how much they might support the wife's career.

What kind of partner a women ends up with is her choice (we are not talking about arranged marriages). The mystery is why they choose who they choose and why they think they can change them into someone different.

I was turned down twice and not because I would not be a good father, not because I did not have a good job, not because I would not be a good and equal partner. I think it was because I was not Prince Charming. I doubt Prince Charming changes diapers or loads the dishwasher. I was good enough to date or live with but I was not a keeper. Younger single women with no kids do not respect men who do dishes, cook, do laundry, etc. They want to go out to eat and party. When they get over that and go domestic they expect their partying boyfriend to change along with them.

Tell your daughters to look at potential partners with an eye to future. Let them know that Prince Charming is probably not a great Dad.
