Sharing Family Responsibilities Equally – Meers and Strober

This book ,50/50, was featured in Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In. The authors, Sharon Meers and Joanna Strober,  share personal stories, compelling social science and a practical roadmap to help women – and men – stay engaged with their kids without sacrificing their careers.  50/50 couples believe that both dreams count – that careers are equally important to men and women, and so is having time with your kids. That doesn’t mean 50/50 every day – there may be times when a mom does 80% of the childcare and a dad does 80% of the earning or vice versa, but, over the course of a career, the batons are passed back and forth so that both husband and wife can maintain successful careers and strong bonds with their kids. When they do, their research shows that these couples become happier and enjoy more romance. If you are dual income family this is a must read! Buy their book.
