[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve stepped back just to see what would happen. It’s 12:45 and the kids haven’t gotten lunch yet. They’re crying and hungry. Dh is oblivious to this. This is basically how every mana operates. Until a woman tells him to feed the kids he won’t. [/quote]

How does this relate to the original question though? [/quote]

It’s men not stepping up. Everything falls on women so that’s why they sah. Men just assume their wives will do the heavy lift with children.

Dh is an excellent father btw and I work and have a great career. [/quote]

So your take is men are just lazy and that's why they assume their wives will stay home? Because the question isn't why women stay home, it was why do most men assume they will.

And if you allow me to pick on you a bit, I see the bold often DH ignores basic needs of a child, but he's involved is excellent, how can one ignore the basic needs of a child  and be excellent?

We have people ready to call CPS on a mom for not wiping her child's nose, not having a hat on a baby,  not breastfeeding., but  a man can ignore the basics and be considered great.

And I will say here, that I know it's not all men, because I know some really great and attentive fathers.[/quote]

It is laziness but men are oblivious to their own laziness and the emotional burden of kids. [b]What man shoe shops, picks out birthday presents for kids, decorates their rooms, etc. Even if both work, the woman has to do that stuff. [/b][/quote]

In fairness, I do know some men who do this, but it''s usually only afte mom putting her foot down and saying she can't and won't do it all. I can think of maybe one who  just did it on his own.

So we're back at the idea that's it's how we're socialized early on.[/quote]
