Yeah... good luck with that attitude there champ. We women carry the baby, we puke for three or so months, we strain all the time later on because of the constant pulling on our backs, then we get to give birth and breastfeed too (unless using formula.)

You... contribute a couple teaspoons of sperm. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO is change a few diapers. Or mix some formula. Or spoon-feed the kid after he's eating babyfood. Or wipe down the floor and high-chair after mommy feeds the kid. Or get up in the middle of the night and stop the baby crying. Or lay out the baby's clothes. Or give baths. You can also give rides to school, provide for snack day in kindergarden when it's your kid's turn, oversee birthday parties, help with homework, and everything else that comes along with your baby growing into a child.

Oh yeah, then you can do the sex talk, and deal with teenage hormones.

Don't like it, pal? Then don't ever have kids. They're not pets your wife brings home from the hospital one day. They're life-long investments that need the input of both parents.

...Don't ever have kids.

why?

 

[SallyNow]

Of course parents should share in the responsibilities of raising children, and that includes diaper changes.

something like that is the exeption

 

[ttreg]

man i wish archie bunker was here lol

 

[Chajara]

why?

Because you refuse to do anything it takes to take care of them. When you have kids, your preferences go out the window. Oh, what's that? Want to watch the game? Well too bad, Pooh Bear's on and your two-year-old has commandeered the television. Want a new grill? Whoops, your kid wants a new toy and you can't quite afford both. Don't want to change that diaper? Yeah, well, wifey's gone on strike and it's gonna get mighty stinky if someone doesn't do it.

See what I mean? If you value certain freedoms that aren't compatible with kids, then just don't have kids. You'll be much, much happier.

If a guy is capable of knocking someone up, then he's capable enough to change diapers.

It's in the bible that women should submit to their husbands , and it's also in the bible that husbands should love their wives like Christ loved the church whichi is an all encompassing, sacrificial, would give us the world kind of love. If you go into marriage with the attitude that your wife is a thing to be bossed around then you will have a very short, unhappy marriage.

Both parents should share equal responsibility. Though it might seem odd, it truly is a time of bonding for a parent and child. Children are utterly dependent, and we are reminded of how fragile they are, even in toddler years, when we still have to change their diapers. It's important to be reminded of that as a parent, when so much of the world is dedicated to everyone and everything moving quickly through life. Children need both mommy and daddy to care for them if both parents are a part of the child's life.

Hi all!

Um...uh...

...what Adiya said!

DW & I adopted both of our Boyz as infants & we share/d the feeding, cleaning, general-caring-for, etc. This idea of a rigid division between husband's work & wife's work is alot of...well, the gooey stuff that kids fill diapers with! In fact, when DW was home on maternity leave, I insisted on having the wee-hour detail on the grounds that since she took care of Da Boyz all day while I was at work, I wanted/should be with them at night both because I wanted quality/quantity time with my boychiks & to let her sleep.

A man who refuses to change diapers & share equally in the housework is being far more childish than any child.

Be well!

Well.... we were probably somewhat useful in making the baby in the first place.... so some use.

Major, major rofls in ttreg's direction. Chajara's right, don't ever have kids.
Assuming you're actually serious, and not just a silly troll trying to get our fur up.
