Quebec Parents Redefine Co-Parenting

Quebec parents are working as a team more than ever—but gender stereotypes still weigh heavy, especially around the mental load of parenting. While most see themselves as equals, a third say work gets in the way of true collaboration, and younger parents push harder for shared responsibility. Three-quarters of moms feel they shoulder most of the mental load, while nearly half of dads think it’s split evenly—showing a big gap in perception. Society still doubts dads’ parenting skills more than moms’, which can make some fathers feel inadequate. Yet there’s strong support for change: 86% back giving dads bereavement leave after perinatal loss, and many want paternity leave updated after two decades. Though Quebec dads are more involved than elsewhere in Canada, turning co-parenting ideals into daily reality still demands effort.
