[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men do more than they ever have before. You think my dad or his dad did jack shit with the kids or dinner or housework? And, for the most part, modern men are putting in just as many hours at their jobs as dad or grandpa did.

Despite working just as hard at paying work and much harder with the kids and house, they get endless shit about not being good enough.

You can say it's because dad and grandpa had it far too easy. And maybe that's the case, but as a modern man, it's tough not to be resentful about doing more and getting shit upon for the effort. [/quote]

And women aren't doing the exact same thing? Neither of my grandmas ever worked a day in their lives. They cleaned, cooked, raised kids and had dinner on the table at 5pm.

I'm slightly resentful that my DH's job is identical to the one my dad had when I was growing up (both have masters in engineering) but DH's job doesn't pay enough to support a family and my dad's did. [/quote]

Amen.  My mother and grandmother never worked and parenting was way less hands-on back then.  I refuse to feel bad for men having to make dinner or help with the kids, when women are now also out of the house 50 hours a week and bringing home the bacon, too.  (That said, my DH is great, we're just both stretched thin).[/quote]

I agree but many men are just not good at this stuff. Hence why so much defaulting goes the woman no matter how great DH is. Unless he's one of the rare ones, for the most part women are doing the most of it still.[/quote]
