TIME Magazine: Men & Women Do About the Same Amount of Housework

This week's issue of TIME has an interesting article about new research revealing that men and women do about equal amounts of housework.

I was initially skeptical, but the researcher's larger point -- that more of today's fathers expect to -- and do -- take an active, equal role in parenting their children echoes what I have seen in my divorce practice. Many of my male clients have begun custody discussions by stating, "I want to have my children with me 50% of the time and I will not accept anything less." It is always admirable and encouraging to see parents committed to equal parenting of their children, even when they cannot live together anymore.

Playlist: Empowering Break-up Songs

Wallowing in power ballads is never a good idea, post-break-up. Ok, a little wallowing is ok -- but when you are ready to start moving on, you need a kick-butt set of empowering songs on your playlist. What would be on such a playlist though? Here are some of my initial thoughts:

• I WILL SURVIVE by Gloria Gaynor (or Cake)
• F* YOU by Cee-Lo Green
• STRONGER by Sara Evans
• SO WHAT by Pink
• YOU'LL THINK OF ME by Keith Urban
• FIGHTER by Christina Aguilera
• IRREPLACEABLE by Beyoncé
• SINCE U BEEN GONE by Kelly Clarkson
• PICTURE TO BURN by Taylor Swift
• CRY ME A RIVER by Justin Timberlake
• BELIEVE by Cher
• SURVIVOR by Destiny's Child
