[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before I logged on to DcUM, I just got off the phone with the ped’s office trying to get an earlier appointment for an anxiety med, after meeting with the therapist earlier this week, during an appointment that I made, based on emails that I exchanged with her (largely screenshots of text exchanges I had with my kid about her anxiety surrounding some exams….).

I told DW the where and when of the appointment.

Some of you are just blind to the fact that many dads are not as checked out as yours husbands are.

“ What I do hear constantly is women who are judged as being bad moms for working AND other moms who are judged for being lazy because the SAH.”

If you’re still butthurt about mommy war BS, you need to grow up. And newsflash, all that judgment comes exclusively from other women. When are you ever going to learn to ignore it? [/quote]

If you are doing great in this regard, congrats to you. But many men aren't. You want me to give YOU a cookie even though my own husband had never made a single pediatricians appointment his life? Why? I'm not your wife.

Women are talking about how their husbands do not show up as husbands and fathers, it's a widespread issue, and you are telling us to "grow up" and not be "butthurt" about it? My husband doesn't do the stuff you do. I'm pissed about it. Why would that have anything to do with you?

If you are actually doing what you claim, you would be supportive of women who are trying to get their husbands to do the same, not yelling at them online. I will stop complaining when my DH stops petulantly refusing to do his fair share.[/quote]
