[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do agree that men need longer, paid paternity leave. Studies have shown men with longer paternity leave are more involved fathers. I don’t know why more men don’t push for it. [/quote]

I suspect this is "correlation not causation" -- i.e., the kind of man likely to be an involved dad is more likely to take paternity leave, it was not the leave that caused him to be more involved.

When I discussed paternity leave with my boss, I got a strong "don't do that, not a good career move for you" vibe from him, so I didn't. I bet I'm not the only man who has gotten that reception.

[quote]You guys must have married morons. There's a relatively finite series of events that have to happen every day (dinner, clean up, kids fed, kids cleaned up, diapers changed, etc.) and it's really not that hard to figure it out.[/quote]

Yeah I've been a dad for a long time and I didn't need to be spoon-fed any of that stuff. I make all the meals and I certainly don't need to be told what to make, how to make it, how to find the ingredients, and how to clean up all the mess. I can't imagine being that incompetent, or marrying someone that incompetent.[/quote]

Hopefully the DH who can’t cook makes up for it by making it rain as a breadwinner!  Or trust fund. [/quote]
