[quote=Anonymous] I wonder if some of the women out there realize the mixed messages that they are sending. On one hand, we have multi-page thread last week about women criticizing men for not pulling their fair weight in raising the kids. Then we get the responses to OP in this thread - who is a dad who wants to help and give his DW a break (albeit doing things his own way) but his wife will not let him. Instead of helping him strategize, a great bunch of you imply that he must be an asshole, incompetent or whatever else. Take it from me, if you want a fully involved dad, you are going to have the pump the brakes about everything being done a certain way. Stress over results, not process. Some of you want your DH to do as much as you do but you also want to tell him what to do and how to do it. You want a "team" as long as it is on your terms. That is a recipe for bad parenting relationship and a bad marriage. [/quote]
