[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true.

The man who does the bare minimum is celebrated. The woman who does more than the bare minimum is still excoriated. If they can cook and clean up after themselves they're seen as some sort of god.

Literally, the bar is in hell for men, and many still come with a shovel.  [/quote]

Who is celebrating them and seeing them as a god? Who is excoriating the women?

People seem to be caught up in their own heads. This just doesn't happen. [/quote]

+1 I think these tropes are very unhelpful.

Maybe it's because we have kids in daycare and public ES but it's mostly 2 working parents and both are juggling dropoffs, Dr appts, etc. [/quote]

Yeah, I guess maybe different neighborhoods are different. We are the same, where we live, there are always fathers at the park and at the school pick up and at the school play and at soccer practice and at the doctors office - no one even notices them. Moms and dads divide and conquer. The idea that it would be so novel to see a father in one of these places that all the mothers would run over to clap them on the back and praise them and fawn over them and be amazed is completely foreign to me.
