[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think millennial men are doing a lot better than their fathers.
I was born in 1986 and my dad never so much as prepared mac and cheese for us. Not once did he do the bedtime routine or look at our homework or drive us to an extracurricular. 
What's new is to have both parents with intense careers. In the past a male doctor might marry a female nurse who continued working but had some flexibility. Now doctors always marry doctors.
I am in a non-intense career and so is my husband. On paper it looks like we have things split 50-50 but he seems to have a lot more time than I do for watching Youtube and such. But to be fair plenty of my "work" is things like planning playdates and arranging for kid parties which isn't exactly work, but takes a lot of time and energy. If I dropped dead tomorrow my kids would probably never have another playdate or birthday party.[/quote]

Nobody cares if millennial men are doing way more than their fathers and getting much less respect for what they're doing. Not a metric anyone other than men care about. Jut call them lazy failures and feel righteous about what shitty men they are. [/quote]

My boomer dad flatly refused to ever change a dirty diaper. Doing better than that isn’t doing half. [/quote]
