I'm the 50/50 guy.

Wife and I split all household duties 50/50 and all expenses 50/50

Seriously, please tell me why I am a piece of shit because of this??

How is 50/50 for everything "weird?"

We believe in equality in our household, equal work and equal share of expenses.

How much did you pay her for the physical toll of carrying your children and birthing them?  I hear surrogates and donor eggs can run into 6 digits, whereas sperm donation costs just a few hundred dollars.  I hope you appropriately compensated her for that so your marriage could remain "modern" and "equal".

Did she breastfeed? That's at least a 2-3 hour day a job.  Not to mention more physical toll.

Point is-  it's impossible to keep things "equal" in a marriage even in these modern times.  I'm glad I'm not married to you pp, you sound like a pita.[/quote]

She did breastfeed.  And during that time period I certainly contributed more on the other items in the house like shopping, cooking, cleaning.

certainly you aren't suggesting that women only provide child and breastfeeding for financial renumeration?

Or that the joy of being a mother and the unique relationship it creates with the child especially from breast feeding isn't a reward in its own right?

No I'm suggesting that your definition of equal is in fact unequal given the different biological responsibilities in regards to having a child.[/quote]

You also hopefully have a unique relationship with your child which didn't come at the cost of many physical factors.  How is your pelvic floor pp? Also anyone who calls breastfeeding a "reward in its own right" needs to acquaint themselves with the pain and exhaustion that being someone's sole food supply is as well as the newborn latch.  Breastfeeding is a gift to the child not a reward for the mother.  You sound more ignorant with every post.

I'm starting to wonder if you actually have a wife/child or if this is your plan for the future that you are test driving on DCUM.[/quote]

I assure you I am very real and this is a real experience.  I am sorry that you didn't find breast feeding and the increase bond to your child rewarding.

My husband just looked at this and said "he's never been around a new mother learning to breastfeed".

Troll.  This guy is easily 25-30.  How he ended up on this forum is beyond me.  No seasoned father would make these statements.[/quote]

I am pretty sure he is 37. There was this guy a few weeks ago prattling about his market value and how, as he entered middle age, he is having more and more sexual choices. It turned out he is divorced (2kids) and has another child with an under 30 girlfriend but sleeps around all the time with hot 20+ olds. His girlfriend is totally ok with it, though she doesn't do the same and dreams of having another child with him. She is like a perfect ten in every respect (no, really), its just that even being so, she cant keep a guy with his value solely for herself. He was also bizarrely obsessed with his desirability on the sexual market and what kind of dating strategies maximize his life pleasures.

That guy also constantly complained about feminism and how nobody here can keep the discussion at the intellectual level he finds satisfying.

Maybe this is not him, but I find it unlikely such similar cognitive pattern would appear at random.[/quote]
