[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a woman, but most of you sound absolutely EXHAUSTING and must be miserable to live with.  Most of the problems between Moms and Dads, IME, stem from one parent (usually Mom) being absolutely certain that her way is THE way and Dad needs her to “train” him into parenting correctly (read: HER way).  If you think that dynamics hasn’t gotten old for YOU, I can almost guarantee it’s been old for your spouse for a long time.[/quote]

I am so damn sick of this take. Yes, the problem is mean mommies! Not men who would literally let their children live in filth. This has major pick me girl energy and the younger generations will not buy this BS. [/quote]

Haha! PP is trying so hard to be the mom version of the “cool girl”

Yes, and this is soooo common. When I had a kid, I just slowly wound up eliminating the women in my life who pull this crap. They did it before we had kids, too, but it didn't annoy me as much back then because I had more bandwidth overall.

But having a child made me realize that I have no room in my life for "friends" who don't understand how empathy works and who think that anytime I confess something that has been challenging for me, it's an opportunity for them to feel or act superior. It's just unhelpful and pointless, so I just left those friendships behind.

I honestly think the only way for women to address what is clearly a systemic issue of always being the primary parent (even when we work) and partners who shirk responsibility and refuse to step up, is solidarity. I have hope that if enough of us can recognize this issue and keep speaking up about it, we can at least influence the next generation. I simply refuse to accept that this is how it has to be for my DD.[/quote]
