The tour is like 8 months after the baby is born no? Why would the expectation be that she would still be breastfeeding? Other than that, there are zero things the baby needs mum for over the dad. Also, if a person wants to bottle feed from day 1 so be it.How? Unless they are going to be bottle feeding the baby from the start then there are PHYSICAL things that Joel just isn't able to do (the first thing that comes to mind is breastfeeding and wheening (sp?) Onto solid food and having the breastfeed in the night/whenever the baby wants).
Let's face it, Joel has a lot more freedom when it comes to the baby.
Double standards for men and women, as usual.

It’s the reality if you make it the reality, but you don’t have to. Lots of women work, travel for work or tour after babies. I breast fed for 6 months - at 7/8 months old my children could be taken care of as well by me or my husband. My point is, women shouldn’t even have to justify it, as well as men don’t.I don’t think it’s the same. A man could just hop off on a two week tour with a lot less to think about than a woman who has given birth seven months previously. The baby might rely on Carrie for its main source of food depending on how that goes/how she chooses to feed the baby. You may not like it but that’s the reality.
you might not like it but this is incredibly sexist.

I’ve got children. 8 months after having them I was back to normal physically. I don’t understand what everyone is talking about.I'm sure he would? But Joel won't have to go through pregnancy and childbirth and breast feeding and weaning. A newborn and the pregnancy process is obviously more strenuous on the woman. That's not sexist, it's biology.
