[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, there’s a dad in my office who shares every last little development of his kids- first poop, lost tooth, etc. Loud kids screaming in the background. Working moms would not try to get away with this. [/quote]

my god.  I am so glad I work where I work.  I am a 40 year old dad with a young child. He goes to daycare, but coworkers and supervisors ask about him all the time.  I do not volunteer information without being asked, though. Many of my coworkers and supervisors are female.  Everyone talks about their kids.  Nobody is held back because they had kids, especially now that we have paid parental leave.  I have seen supervisors and line workers go on maternity/paternity leave and suffer no professional consequences.

If anything, I feel more connected to a lot of my colleagues because I have a kid.  I am invited to join the parent groups at work and feel like I have more in common when my female supervisors discuss their kids. [/quote]

That’s great but because of your male privilege you don’t have to worry about the negative effects like women do.  [/quote]
