Guys with Kids

One of this fall's new shows that I am really enjoying is called Guys with Kids.   There were a couple things that really intrigued me about this new show: Jimmy Fallon created it and it is about people my age raising kids in modern times.  There are some pretty good examples of non-stereotypical gender roles in this show, too. For example, one of the dads, Gary, is a stay-at-home-dad raising four boys, two of which are twins.  This goes against what we typically expect as a society.  There are quite a few episodes that play on this exception, like when Gary demands a day off, and his wife stays home with the kids all day; that is quite a disaster on both ends.

 Here is another example, where he and his friends are talking about different parenting styles. Some go along with our culturally accepted gender roles, and some go against them.
