Before coming Canada, my wife's mother took care of my newborn child, and my wife and I were working both. In traditional families in Iran, usually men were working and women stayed at home for taking care of the kids and doing the household chores.
But nowadays gender roles is changed up and both man and woman are working together outside the home. In addition in modern families with modern sensibilities, it doesn't matter who stays at home for taking care the kids. I know by my own, one of my friends who is stay-at-home dad and is househusband. because putting the kids in daycare is so expensive and his wife has a good full-time job with a good salary, so he prefers to stay at home and take care of kids and let the wife to be breadwinner.
You wrote is right. The gender role could be changed up nowadays. Woman can be a breadwinner just as a man.
