OMG the bloody pats on the back men get for doing the bare minimum! Spare me! āOh look! Heās pushing the pram, isnāt he just amazing?!āSo sorry so many of you are having KW problems I think we are the generation of women brought up being told we can have it all, yet the men weren't brought up being told what they need to do to help us have it all. So we are expected to go to uni, get a well paying job but also have kids and do all the work that goes alongside that as if we don't need help.
Mr Breakfast is good, I really think being in lockdown with our eldest helped him be more hands on and realise what my days were actually like. He even said he feels bad this time round like he doesn't spend as much time with baby breakfast because he's in the office now and he misses her. I don't know if it helps but he was brought up by a single mum with 4 kids and she made them very independent through necessity, but also his dad had them every weekend by himself so he saw his dad be more hands on than my dad ever was. My mum even said my dad would never do bedtime when I was little because he didn't have the patience and she's amazed how much Mr Breakfast does. (Edited to add - Just realised this sounds like a brag but it annoys me when dads get praise for doing the bare minimum of parenting that us mums do all the time and get taken for granted! You never hear a mum being called a 'hands on mum')
