[quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with OP (actually not quite sure of the argument) but I do think that if we could, as a society, figure out why so many men have this issue with arrested development and expect their wives to mother them, we could solve all kinds of problems. Family problems, relationship problems, childhood problems. Like if men just showed up in family life as independent adults who were (1) capable of caring for themselves, and (2) capable of caring for other people to a reasonable degree as appropriate, then this makes everything about marriage and parenting easier.

#notallmen of course -- there are absolutely men who do this. And there are of course women who don't, I get it. But it is far more common for the woman to be kind of duct taping family life together because her husband just doesn't have the skill set to be a real partner. and I'm not even talking about some equal, 50/50 ideal of coparenting. I see this also in marriages where the wife stays home with the kids and the man goes to work -- I still see men just not taking responsibility for themselves or their lives, and their SAHM wives absolutely managing them like another child. No matter how you allocate the workload, it works best of both adults can manage their own life and then some. When should not be managing themselves, their kids, AND their husbands. It makes no sense.[/quote]
