[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moms -- just wait until the checked out dads check back in when the kids are older so don't need the type of care as when they were little. 
Dad sails in and all is forgiven or at the very least there is such a biological imperative that the kids yearning causes them to be ecstatic he's around.

It's tough and hurtful but you know it's in the kids best interest so you suck it up but it sucks. You did all the hard work but he's on equal footing. [/quote]

Most of the mom's here will not let the dad's be active and involved parents so its a non-issue.[/quote]

LOL honey have you ever seen a man volunteer to potty-train his children?[/quote]

Yeah, to both of my kids. I am pretty involved and a lot of my other friends are too. Don't blame all men for your poor choices of picking a wrong partner. If he is not doing it then you need to have a firm talk with him or may be you are happy with him earning more, outside chores more which mentally compensate for all the other things he is not doing. The question is on you as why you let him not do this - are you feeling sorry or guilty by asking him to do the work?[/quote]
