[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First congrats on the kid, secondly as a dad as well, no dad should be around that long at the beginning trust me on this.  You don't want to be around.  do your part to help by giving her space and time.  [/quote]

You're a shitty husband and father.[/quote]

+1000.  A relic from the 1950s.[/quote]

every guy reading this is saying the same thing, they just don't want you to know.  [/quote]

That's not true, but it is true that assholes of all stripes always tell themselves that everyone secretly agrees with them and they're the only ones brave enough to say it.  Many men are actually good parents.  You couldn't get my DH away from DD as a newborn with a crowbar, he certainly wasn't hiding from his responsibilities and trying not to be around.  Hell, he accused me of "hogging" her in in the hospital.  There was no secret desire to disappear that he tamped down for appearances.[/quote]

Listen lady, just like women, men are not a monolith.  Just because you think your husband is a domesticated unicorn, doesn't mean that all men should be like him.  He's probably someone that would be the butt of our jokes but hey, whatever makes him happy.  It also doesn't mean that all men don't want to be with their wives or babies during the first few weeks.  But that doesn't make them crappy fathers or a-holes.  There are differences between men and women and this is one of them, for some men, not all.  If you have beef  with one man's different point of view than yours because your husband doesn't wear the belt in your family, then I can see why you are so angry in life.  Take a chill pill.  Different strokes for different folks.  Sheesh.  [/quote]
