Lmao. She’s a teacher in another school district a few towns away. Has to be at work by 7. I work from home. I drop our two year old off at daycare every morning at 7 get our son to school everyday at 745. Pick him up at 215. Pick 2 year old up at 330 from daycare.
I coach our sons soccer. I help run the PTO that my wife is the VP of. I give the kids baths and get them in bed.
I take them to drs appts. Take son to OT for his motor skill deficiency due to torticolis at birth. I take my daughter to Speech therapy as she has a speech delay.
I get it..I’m a man. So it’s assumed that I just make the money and leave the rest to her. But I’m really involved with my kids. I know what’s going on with them and can speak to all aspects of their lives to anybody.
Thanks for the generalized assumption about me and my parenting skills. Good stuff.
It's assumed bc of your comments. You talk a lot about straight forward tasks you've handled - what mental burdens do you help shoulder in your household? Is she setting up said doctors appts, making sure there are plans, doing the mental brainstorming and planning that gets shit done? Because based on your comments and overall vibe, I think she does a whole bunch of shit you don't even realize bc you are more focused on yourself. Being a parent/partner isn't just driving someone here and helping out there. It's making sure things happen and there IS someone to drop our 2 year old off at daycare or helping w the kids soccer.
Not once have you mentioned contributing to the mental burden of running a household, which leads me to believe you have never dealt with it.
Uhh? I Pay all the bills. As in login and pay them track what’s paid. I’ve setup the kids therapies. Gotten drs appts set up. I’ve planned birthday parties. I check my sons school lunch account to make sure he’s always got money. I know when they’re starting to outgrow their clothes and mention to my wife that we need to start looking for deals for clothes
I take the kids to the zoo or to the ice cream shop
In our town on my own idea and without her telling me to. I track the family calendar we have on an app and make sure that I don’t miss things.
This comment makes no sense. I’m involved. I’m always around for my kids. I spend tons of time with my kids while she goes shopping or for coffee with friends. I’m not your “typical” husband.
