Reading this, it just seems sad that so many men don’t care about their children.

NP: While I don’t think men love their children any less than women do...I think the truth is many (not all) care far far less about everyday things than women do. My DH would be fine with sticking the kids in front of the tv while feeding them frozen pizza 5 nights out of 7 while we have a drink on the patio and I listen to him talk about his day, then have sex. Now that can be done on occasion sure! But not nearly as often as DH might like..our kids would be fat, unhealthy, and addicted to screens. It isn’t that our DH doesn’t love our kids- but he does not think through the long term implications of things sometimes. We won’t have a very happy marriage in 10yrs when our kids turn out lazy and awful either...KWIM?  It is a balance.

Also- when I was in elementary school (the age my kids are) we were often turned loose to run around the neighborhood and/or call grandma (I had two who lived in the same town we did)- these days that is not feasible for many. Sitters are great- we use them- but hard to swing more than twice/mo or so due to $ and schedules. [/quote]
