| Research released today reveals that 30% of fathers in the West Midlands would love to jack in the 9 to 5 and be a stay-at-home dad. The research, commissioned by Fisher-Price for National Play Week, questioned 1500 parents across the UK to determine opinions on fathers’ roles in today’s society. The survey, which quizzed parents on attitudes to play and parenthood, also made other findings: 70% of dads in the West Midlands said they play with their kids far more than their own dads played with them. 35% of the dads surveyed considered discipline to be a mother’s role, not the traditional male role. | |
