[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a kid recently and people are impressed I know how to make a bottle saying a lot of fathers don’t. Seems wild. [/quote] It's changing, I think. But in general: yes. When we had our first I remember the first time we went out to brunch I was babywearing her, when she got fussy I took her out of the restaurant, I fed her, I got her to fall sleep, and then I handed her over to her dad to hold her so I could eat. The moment, the literal minute, that he sat down with her in his arms a waitress from another table came over and told him he was the Father of the Year. For holding a sleeping child. The same child I had been wrangling with no recognition for the better part of an hour. Luckily all the people at our table were parents and the moms and dads all had the same "the bar is in Hell" reaction, because if he had been receptive to that level of praise for that level of effort I probably would have resented it deeply.[/quote]
