    you know what.

    That is a silver lining. And with the world topsy turvy I'm betting mom shaming is a little less than it used to be because half the world wants to strangle their child(ren) every hour right now.

    I don't think dads get shamed as much as...patronized. Like I can't tell you the number of times I'm walking through a grocery store with my daughter throwing a tantrum and some random grandma-aged woman assumes I need to be rescued. Or when my kids were still on formula, Holy shit, you think I was the second coming of Christ because I made up a bottle and fed her.

    I have to brag. I don't want to strangle my kid.

    he just bought Animal crossing and some other franchise...mega man?

    I'll never see him again between those, his chores, and homework.

    Well, I will, when he gets hungry.

    I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old who's going through some deep psychological stuff probably revolving around the complete and utter collapse of pretty much everything she knew about the world who's acting less mature than the 2 year old.

    Not going to lie....there were moments...

    It is entirely possible I have done this. I was raised in a time where fathers were...um...a bit more helpless? I know they aren't now, but I think I might knee jerk into a wee bit of patronizing.

    Unless you say you're "babysitting while my wife has girls' night out."

    Then I'll knee you for being an asswipe for saying "babysitting". :emoji_joy:

    I'mma make sure I check myself more when it comes to how I deal with dads so I don't unconsciously patronize or try and rescue, thus implying they aren't capable.

    Or you're watching the kids at the park or something and someone calls it 'babysitting' the kids. Or y'know the idea that I dress my kid like he's going to an office job, not Sar. Or that there AREN'T FUCKING CHANGING TABLES IN MEN'S PUBLIC RESTROOMS?

    He also got...um...Zenomorph? Something that was pre-ordered and is coming out end of May?

    All I know is I just put $165 on my credit card and he gave me cash, which I promptly spent on a new faucet at Home Depot.

    I changed JH's diapers in some very public places in protest. Because I'm quite literally nuts. :D

    My kid walked out of his room today and I could tell something was up.

    I asked him if he was bored. He said yep, a little.

    I told him it was because I made him leave the house yesterday and see people (from afar) as we delivered food. That triggered the 30% of him that is an extrovert. He thanked me for that and said he was fine living in his 70% zone and to not make him leave again, lol.

    I also offered to go buy a puzzle and we could work on that together and he looked a little horrified at that. Then promptly bought a million video games.

    You dude dads need to learn the art of the male resting Grinch face. No one comes within 10ft of me in public let alone dare give unsolicited advice. Only people socially familiar are stupid enough to cross that line, and usually only once.
