Why should every father live in peace with 'Daddy Life'?
The truth, it's ugly, barbarous and boring glory, will make you free. Or at least the male health editor Richard Doltt said.
The worst question you can ask a father of a child is "When will he return?"
The second worst problem is less predictable and more insidious.
About a month ago, a young, single, non-joking colleague asked me what I did over the weekend. It was Monday morning, I was tired, I thought he really wanted to know, so I told him.
First of all, I said that my wife and I took turns taking our three children to participate in various sports activities, birthday parties, and games. So, I told him that I changed many diapers and washed a few sheets of soaked urine. I told him about the Paw Patrol carnival before dawn and about the monsters under the bed after midnight.
I described the collapse of the two grocery stores (multiple) and whether the sweatpants are eligible for dinner as pants and the naked struggle between my 8-year-old son and my five-year-old son. (She won.)
The colleague smiled and nodded in all the right places and grimaced. I summarized it in a way that could be ironic, but it could be a call for help: "You know, just life." In my father's life. "
"The life of that father."
I have been doing my father for almost a decade, and I have seen that my expectations for raising children have converged, and there has been a major cultural change as women and men raise their children.
I also saw it, combining entertainment and horror, because dad has become an adjective, making any object, practice or idea approximately 36%. The body of papa
Papa is laughing Papa rock and dad jeans and dad's hat. We are at such a level that Dad has become a terrible modifier, a concrete and universal shorthand, a meme.
"The life of that father."
The life of my father.
How did this happen? I mean, it happened. For many of us. A recent study on paternity at the Pew Research Center found that "parents can also say that parenting is at its core: 57% of parents believe that being a father is very important to their overall identity, and the 58% of mothers are Mama says the same. "
We define ourselves as parents, everything else will disappear, so, regardless of the past, our priorities (sex, money, friends, hobbies) seem to be less important. We became our own shorthand, only 36% of people.
Some of us are fighting, we do not wear loose pants, we do not listen to classic rock, we do not say, "That's what she said." We are a great father. We use, talk and consume like a 22-year-old child (if he is not 12 years old), everything is fine until we discuss a snack with the child or we negotiate the screen time with the second-year students.
This is the best for our children. They do not need parents to prioritize gender or friends to overcome their play schedule. They do not need some stupid adults to ask for their last fall from Kendrick.
They need someone who will be perfected this weekend, and the people who follow him and the people behind him, because we know better than these children, these small and expensive disasters are worth it.
This is child care.
