[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a man takes on the responsibilities of childcare or housework or scheduling but does a bad or halfass job of it because he does not try to learn the best practices by reading or networking or even just asking someone who knows more than him then that is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.  His ego should not be enough to get him a pass on these responsibilities.

I can't even imagine that a man would allow his female partner to change the oil in the car without having learned how first, or try to build a shed in the backyard just by using her supposedly superior intellect only as a guide.  I can think of many other examples but the point is nobody should be allowed to screw things up just in the interest of not micromanaging their efforts.  Especially not the care of children![/quote]

People learn by doing.  Not by reading a book or blog or forum or asking a friend.

If people do not do, they don't learn.

I assume that you are a single parent?[/quote]

You assume wrong.

You seem to have missed the point entirely.  Men and women are certainly capable of doing tasks that were assumed to be the province of the other gender in the past but should not now be.  However, if either refuses to do a little research and learning first and just assumes they can figure anything out on their own they ought not be allowed to be in charge of certain things, especially childcare.  Of course it's important to actually do things, that is obvious, but it is equally important to prepare yourself first.  If you are not willing to read a book, ask a friend, or try to arm yourself with information first then your ego is preventing you from doing the best job, no matter what it is.[/quote]
