Whilst I agree with some of what he says I find other things incredibly contrived, he said today that when he's out with his daughters people come up to ask him is he babysitting (who does that!!) & he replies no I'm parenting
, my husband is always with our children & he has never once been asked that question, I know he's trying to make a statement about fathers & today's society but frankly I'm not buying it
My husband works from home and does the majority of the childcare. Things my husband has been asked by random people about being a father/our children whilst out alone:
Are they all yours as they look er...different? Is it their mum who is foreign/Asian/insert various random countries here? Are you looking after them/babysitting/giving mum a rest today? Oh and twice being told he was welcome at ‘single father’ groups.
Other parents of mixed race children, that I know, do find strangers seem quite comfortable to ask personal/inappropriate questions. Along with people including professionals, presuming that I have some superior mum knowledge when it comes to general parenting.
I think it is brilliant that he is speaking about his experience as a father in today’s society...he is someone my husband can identify with more than FOD,Lee Meldrum or a majority of the other Channel Mum fathers.
As a family having experienced what Messiah Kaeto has with his children first hand, I found it refreshing not contrived!
Does he have a secret agenda? In the age of social media, maybe he does...maybe there is a massive predicted crossover of middle class mummy flogger followers and hip hop music, however, for now I am happy to spend time listening to somebody educated,articulate and informed about the world we live in...rather than the foul mouthed, ego driven rants of the CM lot over the past few days.
