[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know more moms who hate being moms than I do dads who hate being dads.

I don’t have kids, but being a dad looks like a way better deal than being a mom.[/quote]

+1. I’m a mom, and would much rather be a dad. [/quote]
Moms would rather be the dads because the dads don't do as much. Some women love the responsibility of being a mother, but if I could have a "wife" who took care of the kids and the house, I'd be super happy, and I'm a mom. I love my children, but I don't love the cooking, cleaning, bathing, making sure they do their HW, clean their rooms.. part.   I love interacting with them and seeing them grow, learn, but the drudgery part, which is alot, I could do without, and clearly, so can men. Thankfully though, both DH and I share the drudgery part of raising children.

Many men like procreating but they don't want the actual responsibility of being a parent. Most will do it, but half heartedly, just look at this forum and the fact that like 70%+ of childcare  and house chores are done by women.[/quote]
