That’s the question posed by Suzanne Reisman, one in a number of folks in the blogosphere providing commentary on a recent Working Moms article about the rising number of divorce cases in which dads (particularly stay-at-home dads) are being granted primary custody.  Here’s an excerpt from Reisman’s post at BlogHer:

Since I don’t want to live in a world where women are made to feel guilty if they work and men are not expected to have real responsibility in raising the kiddies, I’m down with the idea that more men want to share custody of their kids. The key is to make sure that women are not punished for working while men are rewarded for changing an extra diaper or two every week. But a knee jerk reaction to news that dads want custody and that women must do everything they can to prevent this from happening is wrong. It doesn’t serve working parents, stay-at-home parents, or most importantly, the kids.

…and here’s Deesha’s take on it in her co-parenting column at The Faster Times.

What do you think about this issue?
