Abstract
Boyer, Dermott, James and MacLeavy discuss the rise of fathers in primary caregiving positions within the United Kingdom following the recessions from 2008 to 2009 and 2011 to 2012 and outline a number of key questions. In this commentary, I consider the aims of their piece, both within contemporary parenting culture and the negotiation of gendered binaries of care. I note that a more intersectional understanding of the decisions that families are making with regard to combining work and childcare is timely.
