[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1.  To the women of DCUM:  on the eternal and nasty SAHM v. WOHM cage match, the call is coming from inside the house.  That is all woman-on-woman mean girl BS.  Stop blaming men for that.[/quote]

It absolutely is not. I have had men tell me to my face that they are so glad their wives value their children enough to stay home with them (and do absolutely everything for their husbands as well!). While some of it is women on women is actually exists unlike the PP who is complaining about people judging his income because they didn’t go to Disney world. That is not a thing. [/quote]

A million times this. Also, the most competitive parents I know are all men. They compete with their kids but it's their wives who actually arrange the activities and sports practices and do the supplementing and shop for all the clothes and keep the house nice, so these men can brag about their kids and feel proud about their homes and their families. I don't know a single dad who has a wife putting tons of effort into all that competitive family crap who doesn't like it. They love it. They don't actually do any of the work for it, but they LOVE when people look at their families and compliment them on their attractive, well-dressed, athletic, high-achieving kids. But it's the moms doing 90% of the work in making that happen.[/quote]
