Where's the Dad?

They did a piece on the Today Show about this website for moms who grow frustrated with their kids. They post how they can't stand their kids or other wrong things. Not only do they have a book and a website, but they showed a commercial promoting the site that featured only moms talking about raising their kids.

What about the stay at home dad? Why is Mr. Mom being excluded from this world? He's got a tougher road to follow since he doesn't have maternal instincts. If he does have them, he's probably featured on "Toddlers and Tiaras." Men must gain twice the baby education in 1/40 of the time. Men didn't spend their youth putting diapers on dolls and imagining a structured life of child raising. A man's "dolls" were GI Joes. They trained their dolls to slaughter the enemy. Men learned how to put guns and and rifles in their doll's hands. Babies are not good killing machines outside of destroying our adult lives. Babies don't have Kung Fu grip or dueling scars. A baby is a brand new experience for a man. Even as a child, a man's parents didn't want them to help raise their siblings. Why? Because they might rough house and damage the baby. We were raised with the harsh warning to not drop the baby or put our finger through their skull. Mothers trust the family pitbulls to properly take care of the baby more than their sons.

And this woman and her sisterly plight wants to act like we don't exist. As if a man who wants to stay home to raise the kid cause the wife has the better job is doing nothing more than being an substitute teacher for the wife. That my role is to merely give Josie busy work and read the prepared lesson plan until her mommy gets home.

I'm not going demand to know "where is my website to say how my kid drives me nuts." Cause this is that site for me. But what about the father who wants a semi-support group? I'm not a supporter. Any advice you lift from my writing should never be repeated in front of social services, your pediatrician and Dr. Terry Brazelton. Cause they'll be jealous that they didn't think of it first and take out their anger on you.

This is discrimination.
