[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've dated several divorced dads who really step up once the wife is out of the picture during their custody time. But I can tell from stories they tell that the ex wife did more when they were married.

You can't tell from how a dad acts during marriage how he will act when he is a single dad. A lot of men, if a woman is around, will be lazy and let her do more work. it doesn't mean they CANT do the work. They just act like they cant so they get out of it. Once they get custody, they step up and do tons of stuff their exes
 thought they "couldnt" do.[/quote]

You can’t really tell from that perspective what the divorced dad is actually doing. Even if they are forced to step up and feed and clothe their children, it’s likely still the bare minimum, and mom is still doing all the work of organizing school, medical care, activities … [/quote]

It’s sad you are so negative about men.  All the men I know are very involved dads and do everything.  [/quote]

You must be a statistical anomoly, because actual research shows men consistently do less. [/quote]

Let me guess, the studies are with women.  No, we are not an anomaly.  Most of the dads I know are very active and involved.  [/quote]

even your word choice when you’re trying to claim this is a huge tell - what woman would ever characterize her parenting as “active” and “involved”? lol.

and these are time-use studies that consistently show women do more domestic labor. (even when they work ft.)[/quote]
