I do think circumstances influences this a lot. My husband and I are both teachers but due to our previous school, being the hostel parents it required of him to stand up before our kids stood up in the morning and he came back after they went to bed. We focused our weekends around them as much as possible. But we finally had enough and changed schools. and we made a deal. He will put the kids to bed. After the first week my husband had a meeting and I put them to bed, my oldest (then 4) told me it is so wonderful that daddy is home every night. I am glad we moved. So sometimes it is not because they are doing it willingly. I can't tell you how many times my husband said he hated that he can't be there for them .
