To think you are NOT a good dad?

[BobbyDazzler11]

Met with a friend over the weekend who's 1YO is awake a lot in the night. Her DP doesn't get up for any wakes as she said he believes 'it's her issue to sort' . He has always just left her to it.

He does no other care type responsibilities. Just the fun stuff. She plans to have multiple more children with him.

I am honestly sick of hearing of these lazy men. Then they take their child/children to the park for an hour and believe they are father of the year????

So AIBU to think you are NOT a good dad if you don't do all of the following...

• pitch in for night wakes
• making breakfasts/lunches/dinners
• do self care for the children inc teeth brushing/ nails cut etc
• look after your children with ridiculous amount of instruction and prep from the mum!

I can't imagine as a mother just opting out of these things?????

My DH has never done the night wakings. He’s a great dad though. That’s one tiny element of parenting that everyone gets hung up on. Doesn’t bother me.

I'm used to it but it's bloody annoying

I'm sick of these lazy men AND the women who saddle their children with a shit dad. Maybe you didn't know what he'd be like with the first one, but you can't use that excuse again.

That's where you're wrong, but you know best.

You said so previously in the thread. You said you parent like this, because you are gypsys. It is not an assumption, it is what you said.

Oh darling, i am but my bar is high.

You’re being very unreasonable to think that Scorpios make lousy parents.
