“The father’s role has undergone a serious mutation for a few years but that of the mother too! We ask the father to be much more present. The role of the father, as far back as it goes, has never been to support the mother and even less to care for the baby. This is however what we ask them and what I find normal (…). Today, the mother works and has to deal with everything head-on. We ask a lot of them as we ask a lot of women and, at the same time, nowadays, task sharing is normal to me. I just feel like women understood it faster than men. ” marioniciar
“I don’t think we’re asking too much or not enough, that seems normal to me now. Manners evolve, the statutes too. We each have a gigitte13
“The place of women has changed in society, we have become equal to men from the point of view of studies and professional career. I assume that if I work to bring home money, the father should take some of the mother’s place. Among other things, taking care of the baby. ” popiloue
“Some women may ask too much of dads, like forcing them to attend the birth of the baby. But mentalities are changing, as are people elsewhere. For my part, I prefer a dad who does not wish to attend the delivery but who will be there two months later to take care of the baby at night and who will go and get me some croissants to show me his love and tenderness. ” stephanie380
“For me, we don’t ask too much of men. Our place has also changed a lot, we have adapted. They too must do it. This does not mean that things should be forced on them either. I love bathing my daughter so it’s more of me doing it, but when I’m not there, he does it perfectly. I know that I can go on weekends with friends and that he will be able to handle everything very well. In short, I trust him and everyone helps as they wish. In the end, I find that in our relationship, it is rather well distributed. ” Marie
