[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, let’s blame women for men’s behavior. [/quote]

[b]Is it though?   I think we all know what OP is  talking about the lazy, uninvolved fathers that constantly are complained about on here, but then  get laughed of with " oh that's just men.'

It's the same as the person who is supplying alcohol to the family alcoholic because it's safer if they don't drive.  Yes the alcoholic is  responsible , but so is the person who is enabling by buying the drinks.[/quote]

I never see any women laughing on here. I see women who are furious and heartbroken that the man they've married turns out to be lazy, neglectful, or downright mean toward their children. Then what is the choice? As a woman who grew up with a terrible father, and a mother who routinely ignored his behavior, I don't think you can call it "enabling" when a mom steps in to do what is necessary to keep her child safe and happy. My mother certainly doesn't deserve any congratulations for leaving my dad to do what he wished.

And yes, the reverse can also be true, but the OP is specifically calling out women for "enabling" men. I mean, gross.[/quote]
