[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]S/o of the dh who posted his wife is ‘lazy’ (and not to re litigate his post) do you feel society judges men who don’t work much more harshly? I feel like if a woman wrote that their child was 10 and the dh had not yet gone back to work (even if they agreed he’d stay at home in the early years), he would be viewed much differently than a woman who is still out of the workforce once kids are in school full time. Is that true or subjective?  [/quote]

Nowadays women are judged very harshly for everything they do.  Stay at  home with kids in school?  Lazy?  Work and use daycare and nannies?  Bad mothers!  So forgive me if I don't feel sorry for the few Dads who stay at home and are judged for not working a job.[/quote]

DP. So why perpetuate it? If you as a mom know how it feels to be judged for everything you do, why judge others? How refreshing it would be if we as a society could just move on from these outdated views.[/quote]

I don't. I was in a carpool with a dad who stayed at home and showed me how to use google calendar and ran a PTA committee and a boy scout troop and handled all the finances and house maintenance for the family. [/quote]
