Pew has generally put out some good studies - I didn’t even think about the timing and Mother's Day - good point! And, at the end of the day I think parents in general, mothers and fathers, do have a harder time these days and there just doesn’t seem to be any clear answer to make things a bit easier and more "livable".

Mothers are just getting more of a taste of what fathers have been doing, and many are realizing that it makes their lives harder... less time for the stuff they want to do / think they should be doing. Of course there's also much more expectations on fathers now to also handle half of the child care, cleaning, etc; while still handling repairs, yardwork, family planning, etc; and still put in whatever overtime his career may demand and sucking it up without complaining about it.
