In some culture norms, little is asked of young men about their participation and responsibility in doing household chores. Many recent studies have shown the importance and the need for men’s participation in domestic duties and child care, as well as the desire of some young men to take part to a greater extent in domestic decisions. Traditionally, it is believed that being a man, is to succeed in the financial and economic aspects. A man must assume fatherhood and financial responsibility for the home or, as we often hear, “he must make sure that there is nothing lacking at home.” In this respect, men are generally seen in our society as only the bread winner, not capable of performing child care and, to some extent, need not to participate in household activities.
We now know that men who are more active in caring for their children shows greater satisfaction in their relationships with their partners and in their daily life. Moreover, when boys are given opportunities to interact more often with adult men (fathers, uncles, family friends, etc.), they are likely to view men's caregiving as part of the male role.
