Yes / 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.
