Isso vem a demonstrar que os pais estão se comportando como esperado pela nova paternidade, ou seja, não estão tendo apenas o papel de provedor financeiro, mas estão colaborando, junto com a esposa, nos cuidados e na educação dos filhos (Brandth & Kvande, 2002;Cia & Barham, 2008;Matta & Knudson-Martin, 2006;Tiedje, 2004).…”
