He claims that people give him a hard time for being a SAHP simply because he's a man:
www.telegraph.co.uk/men/relationships/fatherhood/10737648/Why-doesnt-society-take-stay-at-home-dads-seriously.html
He says: "I feel the need to justify myself, my job, my choices, in a way that I’m sure would not happen to a stay-at-home mum."
AIBU to think he's exaggerating? I get shit all the time for being a SAHM. From acquaintances and inlaws mostly. Talk that I have no 'work ethic' and that I should 'get a job', and tbh I find it really hurtful and diminishing of the WORK I really do. Which leads me to my next Q:
Why do some people give SAHPs such a hard time? Surely if you're not claiming benefits then your choice to be a SAHP does not harm them in any way, directly or induirectly?
