【微智慧】爸爸们，你认为最重要的家务是啥？The Most Important Housework to Fathers发表于：2014-01-09?When it comes to parenting, Chinese fathers say the most important role they play is that of the family chauffeur.在养育子女的问题上，中国父亲说他们扮演的最重要的角色是家庭司机。In a survey of 500 Chinese fathers released earlier this week by communications company JWT, respondents ranked driving their children to extracurricular activities and to school first and second, respectively, as the childcare responsibilities they most viewed as the responsibility of the male in the family.
