[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In most opposite-sex marriages where neither partner has been divorced, the two partners become parents at the very same moment.

[b]But somehow it is the women who are supposed to "teach" the men to coparent[/b]. In addition to recovering from childbirth/major surgery, we are supposed to coax our men into participating. And if we don't? Well, that's our fault too. [/quote]

You’re so clueless about how to get a man to be your partner that you’re running wild with my comment to “teach” a man to coparent.   Does your husband do 50 percent of the housework and childcare?  Because mine does.  So maybe you should stop making fun of my comment and listen instead.

You know how you teach a man to coparent?  You leave the house.  You get a life.  Make plans with friends, have a career, prioritize your health and happiness.  You basically live like a man.  At the most, you sit down with a list of what needs to be done on a daily/monthly/annual basis (doctors for kids, kids clothing, thank you notes, holiday presents etc) and you figure out who is going to do what.
