[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here. I have an amazing husband too(and I am an amazing wife as well), but I have to admit that OP has a point. Most of the men I know can do a lot better. I know a handful that are great husbands. The rest are just horrible.

I have two girls, and sometimes I think I would rather they end up single than with men who are like most of the men I know. The numbers are not looking good.[/quote]

Actually to sort of agree with both OP and her critics, I am *amazed* by the range of attitudes of the men I know well--and I am talking about the same cohort of 35-45 yr old, liberal-ish professional men.  (So I don't know what advice to give your daughters!)  Some are great, and totally comfortable with home/work balance, taking paternity leave and self-renovating the house.  Others are unbelievably helpless, sort of combining the entitlement of the Mad Men era and the cluelessness of the Millennials.  And these are superficially very similar guys--sometimes even friends.  DH is sort of a mix--perhaps that's why I am sensitive to both sides--came from parents in a very (dysfunctionally) traditional marriage but pretty willing with a push to walk the walk, as well a talk the talk.[/quote]
