More American Fathers Stay Home to Raise Kids

Families in the U. S. are changing. 1. This number is twice that of 25 years ago. In 2012, 16 percent of all parents in the U. S. were stay-at-home dads. Gretchen Livingston is with the Pew Research Center. She says in the last 25 years there have been changes as far as dads taking on more caregiving responsibilities and mothers taking on more bread-winner responsibilities. 2. That is a huge change. The study finds that disability, sickness and unemployment are among the reasons that fathers stay home. 3. For example, Blake Humphreys has also been a stay-at-home dad for the past ten years. Blake and his partner have two kids. Blake is a big, muscular man. He is well over six feet tall, with a beard and long hair tucked under his baseball cap. He looks like the kind of man that would be hard to frighten. 4. "I am a stay-at-home dad for ten years. And I know that just saying it sounds scary to me right now." Blake became a stay-at-home parent for the same reason many women do – he made less money than his partner. Even thought the number of stay-at-home fathers is growing in the U. S., such men can still face worries about their self-worth. 5. To help solve this problem, he volunteers at his children’s school partly to battle that isolation and to build up his sense of self-worth.

A. But, some fathers do so simply to spend more time with their children.

B. Blake shared his feeling of anxiety.

C. A new study finds that in the U. S. more than two million fathers are staying home to take care of the house and family.

D. A lot of men lost their jobs

E. However, he says he does feel fearful when he counts the years he has been out of the workforce.

F. She adds that the number of hours a day that dads spend caring for their kids has tripled in the past decades.

G. Black expressed his true feeling towards being a stay-at-home dad.
