That’s precisely my case. For a series of circumstances (including a more flexible working schedule), I spend most of the time with our almost-2-year-old: prepare and take him to “morning-care” (mornings are when I really must be at work; the rest I can do from home); get him back and sleep with him part of the afternoon; when we wake up, I take him to swimming classes twice a week; the rest of the days, we go out to run errands or just stay home playing, till the time my wife joins us (usually around 5/6pm); and I’m usually the one who helps him into sleeping (in fact, there was one occasion when my wife became kind of angry/frustrated because he kept crying for me while she tried to make him sleep..).

For a time, my wife would feel the social pressure to assume the primary caretaker role (society definitely is not ready for this kind of situation), but now she deals much better with our arrangement. So far, it’s working.
