Statistics indicate that younger men are much more involved fathers than their own father's generation (although they still do more of the "fun" stuff and less of things like bathing and making sure homework gets done) but the uptick in men doing housework hasn't really moved all that much. It seems like many men, even when they aren't conscious of it, do kind of seem to want a servant, at least on some level.

The truth is, men are changing as fathers a lot faster than they are changing as husbands. With men’s child-care participation increasing so much faster than their housework activity, a dangerous disequilibrium is developing in which dad is becoming the “fun parent.” He takes the kids to the park and plays soccer with them, while the mom stays home. “What a great time we had with Dad!” the kids announce as they burst through the kitchen door to a lunch that she prepared while also folding the laundry, making the beds, and vacuuming the living room. Of course, Dad pats himself on the back for being such an involved parent. (I generally refer to this as “premature self-congratulation.”)
