[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a common theme among divorced dads. [/quote]

Workaholic victims of their wives running the entire household, child raising, family schedule etc herself once she realized she can’t count on her spouse for much of anything. [/quote]

The irony is many of these Dads seem to make it work with 50% custody.[/quote]

I have a friend considering divorce now.  Her husband doesn’t do anything.  I don’t have the heart to explain to her that her normal college educated husband is most likely going to start parenting once he had the kids 50% of the time.  All of a sudden the kids will be clothed, they will have dinners to eat, driven around etc when they are with dad.  [/quote]

I have seen this scenario over and over- you are likely right.

Often the issue is if mom is available - dad will sit back and let her do everything. Suddenly when he has the kids 50% of the time he seems to manage. I don’t know how this gets during the marriage though- the dad is often resistant.[/quote]

Most dads actually do participate in parenting. It is not at all surprising that the kind of guy who doesn't will also blame his wife for his own failure. It is no wonder that such a marriage doesn't last.[/quote]
