Hi Joshua,
My story sounds similar to yours in some ways. It seems like in many situations, necessity determines how the workload is shared rather than gender stereotypes. Have you happened to read anything about gender roles differences across socioeconomic categories? I wonder if maybe the roles are more stereotypical in upper class families rather than impoverished or low to middle class families. It's also interesting that you mention working and providing for the family as a responsibility of both genders - I wonder how someone would have answered that question 50 years ago? Just goes to show how the evolution of time and culture shifts can impact human development.
