You know what? I can’t ignore this bullshit. I’m fucking sick of people perpetuating the idea that fathers are all lazy assholes.

This should really say: “You know that feeling of being able to sit down when you’re exhausted? Yeah, me either. I’m not my husband.”

It’s not my fucking fault the person you made a kid with doesn’t contribute enough to make you happy. That’s your problem, so don’t make it a DAD thing, make it a YOUR FUCKING RELATIONSHIP thing.

Cosigned. This kind of blanket nonsense is really frustrating. Your husband is a shit dad? Sorry, but don’t lump me into it. It’s this kind of stuff that keeps perpetuating  the idea that Dad’s are those clueless dumbasses on TV and movies. And that keeps the idea that any woman on the street has the right to stop me and criticize how I parent my son. This collective attitude is why the US government reduces everything I do all day to the title of “babysitter” as a Stay At Home Dad.

Touchy subjects are touchy.

SERIOUSLY. I’m sorry that there are women out there who picked a selfish person to procreate with, but let’s not contribute to this stereotype that all fathers are lazy and can’t be trusted/bothered with their families. (Can we also please stop with the “men are so dumb, they have no idea how to clean a kitchen/mop the floor/do laundry etc” oh lords of advertising? Mothers & fathers of the world, please make sure to teach your sons how to do laundry and clean the house. Fathers of the world, set a good example for your sons so they don’t see house cleaning as “women’s work”.)

My husband gets up every day at the crack of dawn to spend time with our kids before he goes to work in case they’re in bed by the time he gets home. He doesn’t have to do that, he could ask to sleep in a bit instead, but he gets up because he loves them and he’s a responsible parent. He doesn’t sit around watching television on the weekends, taking it easy because he’s “worked all week” and wants to relax. Instead, he takes Milo to the grocery store with him, they go to the playground, he cooks dinner for us, etc. If I ever voice concerns that I feel guilty that he doesn’t get to sit around and relax since he’s worked all week, he reminds me that he’s not the only one who’s worked all week, that staying home with the boys is work.

And my husband, while wonderful, is not a one-of-the-kind soul. Pretty much all of the fathers I know consistently pull their share of parenting. They don’t sit down at the dinner table and wait to be served, eating in peace while their partner fusses over the children and the food. They don’t expect to settle themselves into the couch on the weekend to watch television all afternoon while the mom takes the kids out. The dads I know are out there working just as hard at parenting as us moms. And if the father of your kids isn’t doing this, maybe it’s time you sat down with him and had a serious discussion about why he isn’t doing this.

This is very true. I was bought into this world with both a mother and father who couldn’t be bothered and was then adopted by a couple who could. My dad in particular has always been a rock to me. He can never do enough for us. Similarly Tom is not Olivers biological parent yet he’s the one who cooks us dinner and sits feeding Oliver while I eat. He does 50% of the housework and we both do the bedtime routine together. Stereotyping is dangerous stick to judging people singularly. Oliver has a full set of housework toys. He will be raised as a modern male and will one day make someone a very happy woman. (or man)
