Selected passages and my commentary:
"Now stay in bed and go to sleep," my husband, Bill, said as he hugged our 3-year-old son, Davey, good night. "If you don't, I'm gonna talk in my troll voice all day tomorrow." I smiled with pity at this poor, deluded man.......that night though, Davey didn't get up once. In the morning he ran around crowing that he'd won and the troll couldn't come.....I was also just the tiniest bit jealous. Why hadn't I been the one with the great insight? Why couldn't I talk like a troll?"
(For crying out loud, be glad the kyd stayed in his own bed and STFU with being jealous of a troll voice)
"...our guys are doing more than their dads did. Fathers clip tiny toenails and baby-food coupons. They read bedtime stories and clothing labels. And while some of our own dads had no clue about how to change a diaper, our kids' dads often have fierce opinions on Luvs versus Huggies...."
(How impressive! Having a "fierce opinion" regarding diaper brands will really give him a boost above the crowd among his colleagues)
"...But we don't want them to take over," says Pyper Davis, a mother of two in Washington, DC. "We don't ever want to be pushed off that throne of being Mommy."
(aahhhhhh, the TRUTH comes out! They DO think they are sitting on a throne)
"When our son was a baby, Brian* gave him more of his baths," says Jessica Davis* of Chicago. She believed it was important for them to have such one-on-one moments, but "I remember thinking a few times, 'I should take the bath with him!"
(NO, neither of you should be taking a bath WITH the kid, he should be bathed alone, in a tub)
"I know he's very capable of caring for her, but I want to believe I'm better at it than he is — even though I'm not. I think it's the whole 'I'm the mommy and I can fix anything.' It's almost like a savior thing."
(A "SAVIOR"?, I hadn't heard this one until now)
"It seems he's doing very well at work and then when he comes home he's doing very well with the kids, so it's like he's doing great everywhere and I'm running to keep up."
(That's because it's NOT that hard of a job. Now that duddy is proving that, the lies have been exposed!)
"Trouble is, "the more we control how dads do things, the less involved they want to be," Park says. A recent Ohio State University study of almost 100 couples with newborns backs her up: Researchers found that even dads who believed they should be highly involved in childcare shied away from doing things for their infant if Mom was very judgmental."
(That's because they want to remain in control and make their husbands thinks that THEY are the only ones who can raise a kid)
"As for curbing the green-eyed monster, it comes down to discovering things you do well with your kids. When they're babies, simply breastfeeding them is something Dad can't do, and may be enough. Later on, try sharing your passions, from gardening to karate. It's also smart to take turns doing the fun stuff, like playing with the kids, as well as the non-fun stuff (say, disciplining them). Dad's giving the baths? Great. Make storytime yours, instead of moping."
(Oh yeah, BREASTFEEDING is still a moomie only thing, which explains why it's so popular even though it's inconvenient and ruins their figures)
Some men are FINALLY doing what women have whined about for decades and they STILL find reasons to bitch and moan about it. Men absolutely can not win for losing when they are dealing with moocows, so I don't even know why they even keep trying.
