The bare minimum is realistic. The men who are super career oriented and want to get the very top in life, are they overrrated, like the women mentioned are? He could work his job, just like she and not strive to make it to the top of the chain at the expense of sacrificing his family time. Since we want to say women doing this is overrated. Whats wrong with equal parenting? Didnt you both have that child, shouldnt you both be there to raise it? What is your idea of parenting if you cant imagine it being equal? Just would like to hear your thoughts. But before you respond, if its things like I cant imagine a man wanting to stay at home all day with his own children, teaching, feeding, watching them grow, why wouldnt he want to do that, and why should a woman be the only to have to do that. Or are you saying women are the only ones whoever want to do that? Is that natural or is that socialized behavior? Edited by negroplease, Aug 24 2012, 11:18 AM.

Doing more in terms of? Wouldnt it be they are both doing an equal amount of work, just in different areas? |

I'm looking for a long term partner, and I agree with you. The guys who disagree with you are just looking for booty calls. Drama in a long term relationship is what ends the relationship. |

Can I just add, this type of thinking is why Cissly thinks men are useless and children dont need fathers in their life. |

You could look at it like that. But who is to say what's equal! I know I do more "work" than my husband. I'm sure he'd say he does more "work" than me.

Well, we know that Cissly is wrong. Her logic is faulty. My kids need my husbands' perspectives, his method of discipline, his method of bonding with them, his methods of instilling values into them. They need it. His ways are different than mine. And I think they need both. They get both, in different ways. Edited by VoiceofReason, Aug 24 2012, 11:27 AM.

Who is to say it isnt equal? But to blatantly say one is doing more than the other sets yourself up to not expect more from the other partner. Or to allow a power differential. If that is the kind of marriage you want, more power to you guys |

That's what I said. Who is to say WHAT is equal? It's simply whether what the couple is doing works for the couple. |
