Aibu or is pathetic husband syndrome on the rise

[rOsie80]

I feel like I have far too many females friends who’s husbands are out of work / unable to work / suffering mental health issues / can’t cope with the children. But ultimately they have less responsibility than their wives, even before they suffer these things. Why are men so weak these days (or has it always been this way really??)

Making men take paternity leave would make a huge difference. Just come back from Denmark. Dads everywhere looking after their toddlers in parks and meeting up to play. It was lovely.

Men should want paternity leave, in the UK too many see raising children as "womens" work, they then act accordingly.

It also has to be said some men are lot less men than they used to be.
