I just want to clarify that my comments are not coming from a mum/dad or man/woman place.
My comments come from watching them both at home for the best part of a year. Liam seems to be the one getting up most mornings, he makes a lot of the meals, he’s on the floor playing with the triplets & doing activities with Mason, he takes all the kids out by himself regularly.
That's all great, he’s a great dad & partner and that’s how I want to raise my boys.
Nadia posts about never getting a minute to herself but the stories show a different picture. I know she has ads to film and housework to do but I don’t think it’s relatable. Liam is basically home most of the time. He actively helps run their home, their mums help with washing (no judgement, I’d give mine away if I could!) Most of us don’t have that much daily support and have to do the night feeds & early mornings ourselves and the housework when the kids are in bed .
I hate the whole ‘dad babysitting’ thing but Liam literally has those kids out by himself most days. Maybe I’m underestimating how much ‘work’ ads are.
When my husband was furloughed and I took the kids out people we met would make comments like where’s daddy, is he getting time to himself, when’s he giving mummy a break. I actually think people would slate the man more if the roles were reversed.
My judgment comes from how disproportionate their roles seem with them both home, not a man/woman point.
