Basically this woman in the first image, told her daughter that her dad basically did nothing beyond provide sperm, That she did all the work.. And he got mad at her..
In my opinion this kind of minimization of the role of the father is sexism at best. He has every right to be mad at her. What do you think? Do women really think that fathers contribute nothing? That fathers are basically meaningless?This was her question, the rest of the images are responsesI am a member of an anonymous advice group, This was a question that came across. And the follow up images are the cancerous responses.
Is it true? Do women really feel like men contribute nothing when it comes to raising children or pregnancy?
The woman in the screenshots is completely wrong here, and so are all of the self righteous soccer moms piling on. God I hate social media so much.
It’s not fair for her to belittle the father role to her daughter, especially right in front of him. Sure, pregnancy clearly has an affect on the woman’s body and I think most men recognize that, but it’s not like he peaced out after sex? What about working 40+ hrs a week to support and prepare for the kid on the way? To continue to support the daughter? Putting cribs together? Painting nurseries? Potentially so much more.
Middle age women need to stay off social media. Come to think of it, we all do.
No. Not true at all. When my babies were little my husband held them, burped them, bathed them, put them to bed. Now he makes meals for all of us (and includes the kids in the meal prep) takes the kids to their activities, plays video games with them. He is a huge part of their life. Equal to me.
As far as pregnancy my body shouldered the burden but he made sure I ate well and helped a lot around the house because I needed extra sleep. He also read to the babies while they were in my tummy.
I think these women were only talking about the physical aspect of pregnancy. I didn't see anything about raising children. I personally LOVED being pregnant.
To answer your question, I feel my husband makes an equal amount (yet different kinds) of contributions to the raising of our children. Prenancy... well... I wouldn't call that equal, but definitely supportive. Also, no father is meaningless (not even the bad ones).
Raising children they certainly do, providing they're a halfway decent parent at the least. But when it comes to carrying it during pregnancy, at best, they do such as taking us to appointments or snack runs and such. But largely, we hold the higher burdens and all the health risks.
