[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do men love their kids? Like truly love their kids or do they just take care of them out of obligation? [/quote]

They don’t take care of them. 
They love the idea of their kids and being an adult with kids. But….

Their priorities are themselves (their food, sleep, entertainment) and their work image.

Then there’s a big gap and the house, elderly parents, kids, maybe the wife come way later. They get the occasional leftover mindshare or energy. [/quote]

Here’s a good test.

What are the last 5-10 topics Parent A proactively brought up to the household to Parent B or to a child.

What are the last 5-10 topics Parent B proactively brought up to the household.

Then categorize those topics as personal centric, office work centric, child-centric, spouse centric, house property centric, or family centric.

Then you’ll know where priorities and mindshare stand. Whether male or female. [/quote]

Parent A :   updated parent B on info learned at 6th grade orientation (parent A was off work so made sense to go since it started at 3). - child centric 
                    Updated parent B that sports stuff was all set - child centric 
                    Updated Parent B about changes to parent As flight for personal vacation next week - personal centric 
                    Asked parent B to switch over laundry that had been started when leaving for orientation - house centric 
                  Told parent B about reservations made for Monday for dinner - relationship centric

Parent B     Asked if any additional kids decided they were coming over after orientation so they got the right amount of pizzas - child centric 
                    Worked out with parent A plans for getting to the airport - spouse centric I guess 
                     Asked parent A if they needed to pick up any more school supplies while they were out. Then helped DS get his school stuff together - house and kid centric 
                   Told parent A they were taking care of dinner tonight and had picked out a movie for them to watch after DS went to bed - family/spouse centric 
                   Reminded parent A they were taking DS to a faire tomorrow while parent B was working - child centric 
                  [/quote]
