Dr John Gottman, of the University of Washington in Seattle, said if men shared the tasks, women felt less stressed about balancing the demands of work and home. They also saw their partner's assistance as a sign of love and therefore felt more sexually attracted to them.

In Britain, however, therapists claim to have identified a new condition, named Atlas Syndrome - after the Greek god who supported the sky on his shoulders - which afflicts men who hold down demanding jobs while trying to be perfect parents.

He said it struck men who were trying to "work the unworkable", adding: "It's a modern condition caused by social and political changes affecting the role of men."

Jack O'Sullivan, co-founder of Fathers Direct and editor of Dad magazine, said this generation of fathers was living out a huge social change. "They're working just as hard but at the same time they're committed to doing a great deal more at home so they are inevitably stressed out."
