About male vs. female with general care... I think there is some correlation with a woman's thinking process and that they tend to end up taking charge even in these days of ....equality.

really? this has not been my experience, having lived it.

GROAN.... yeah, the justifications and shallowly rationalized speculation of so many childless begin with just those words...or "the experts say..." ;-)

yeah. fun tymez. ;-) gimme a fucking break.

I had a guy friend and we were discussing this difference(before I had read this book). The guy says "You know, when you ask a guy what he's thinking about something? Imagine a little cartoon thought bubble coming from his head, and it's empty."

hmmm. maybe that particular guys head. your friend is an idiot.



In reply to:
What I am getting at is - guys(in general) just don't connect the dots sometimes, when it comes to their kids. They don't realize WHY the errand needs to get done now and that he needs to have (whatever) along for his 2-year old and that he needs to get back home (by whatever time) so the kid can get fed and his nap or else - well, we all know what happens then!

really? what DOES happen? I've happened to have lived it, and dealt with it just fine. how about you?

by reposting this quaint female prejudice against males as fathers, you insult every dad on this bbs. me, wideguy, krillen, arretinator, all of us.

In reply to:
The women connects the dots between risky behavior, all the way down to not being available for her child should she be hurt or injured. All without so much as tying in. Whereas the guy....is more apt to realize he's got trouble handling the child care about....the day he wakes up in the hospital after an accident, or gets home 6 hours past the time he said he would and now mom can't do what she had planned.

seriously, you havent any idea what your'e talking about. have some kids, raise them, and THEN get back to us. okay? Oh certainly, you can have all the (mis-informed, prejudicial, shallowly rationalized, fundamentally wrong) opinions you want. I'm happy to point them out for you.

Ma, I understand my responses to the above might be incongruous with the forum moderation rules...but, this kind of stereotypification and speculation by childless people just pisses me right off.

"I read a book once..."

please...
