to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family Husband and wife may also share household chores Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing

the laundry

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (34) _ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (35) _ of children?
