I love this! It's so true!

Ha, I HATE the Dad things that happen. He is good with our son, but like most dads I bet, good at the 'fun' parts or swanning in for the glory when appropriate. If I'm at my MILs, I can have had my son all day, Dad comes in from work, baby smiles (as they do) and WELL!!!!! thanks for coming in and being some kind of legend!

AWWWWwwwwww his Daddy..he wanted his Daddy....blah blah Effing Blah!!! xx
 
Sadly true. Apparently men are suppose to get more attractive when becoming dads where as woman decrease, depressing thing I heard the other day. I know if my other half wears a baby in a sling he instantly is mom porn yet I look like a whale and would get remarks.
 
Funny, but sadly true!

I always joke about how people would rush to open doors for me when I was pregnant, but now that I have a baby and carrier and/or stroller they don't even look up.
 
Lol funny thread:haha:

wow that's so rude!!!! Ppl here are pretty nice. I don't think I've ever opened the door myself if anyone's around since having Sofia. They always jump ahead to get it for me, even teenagers
 
I'm travelling at the moment and last night we went out for an early dinner with one of my best friends who I only get to see once a year.

LO had had really bad naps during the day so he was getting pretty tired. He's very even-tempered so he never lost it or started crying or anything but he was rubbing his eyes and being a bit unsettled. For the last half hour we were there (the meals took quite a long time to come out) OH walked LO up and down the restaurant, showing him things and keeping him calm.

We finished up, he went to pay the bill, I strapped LO into his carrier and walked out and as I did, a woman leaned out of her table (probably mid-to-late-20s, sitting with a guy) and said to me, "Take your baby home and put him to bed for god's sake."

I just gave her a *look* and continued walking, because a) obviously that's what I was already doing, b) it was before 8pm, it's not like I was out to a ridiculous hour, c) he was half-asleep on my chest already. As we were walking to the train station, I told OH, and he was ROPABLE. Funny how he had LO for at least half an hour and would have walked past that table half-a-dozen times and she said nothing, but as soon as it's the mother, she felt entitled to share her judgement. :dohh:

Unbelievable!!! I would have been furious! You do well to be so calm and collected!
 
:haha: well I have to laugh or i'd cry, I have had an extreme day of "oh what a wonderful dad" followed by being asked if I was expecting number 2 :nope:

Ugh, I was furious, but it just wasn't worth the fight, especially as I actually *did* want to get LO home to bed. And also the wait staff had been super-nice to us so I didn't want a scene.

I did have a few pretty withering comments running through my head though. I decided to be generous and assume that she wasn't a mum, and that when, one day, she does have a kid, she will realise that life doesn't always run 100 percent perfectly to plan, and will remember what a jerk she was being and feel retrospectively embarrassed. :haha:

My OH, as I said, was SO mad when I told him. He said, "If you had told me that when we were waiting for the bill, I would have gone and given her a piece of my mind." I was like, "Yeah, I know... why do you think I waited to tell you until we were halfway home?!"
 
So true. Expectations are so low for dads. When we take LO out, if OH holds her or even just talks to her, people give him such sweet looks like it's the cutest thing they've ever seen.

And when I post pictures of him with LO on facebook, it's bombarded with comments about how he's such a good daddy. It seems that all it takes to make a man a good dad these days is sticking around.
 
So effing true.

I can't even laugh because I find it so depressing, lol.
 
This is so bloody true! I hate it when oh always gets branded a great dad, yet im the one who has pretty much raised her while we weren't living together and then whilst he's at work 10 hours a day! Grrrr.

Edited - that sounded bitter lol. I can't say that oh isn't a good dad, he's a very good dad. But I just mean the guy gets much more approval because he's a good dad but the mother doesn't because it's like it's just expected of us.
