ALL IN ALL!
The author, a stay-at-home dad, shares his experience of being called a predator while watching his daughters at the park. He describes how society often treats men who take on traditionally women’s duties as weak and less of a man.
The author shares a personal experience where a woman questioned his presence at the park, leading to a confrontation with the police. The author acknowledges that if he were a woman, he might have made a mom-friend.
He also shares a personal experience where a daycare worker is not allowed to be alone with the kids, while his female colleagues have more freedom. The author calls for a more accepting society for men taking on childcare roles.
Any thoughts on OP’s dilemma? What would YOU have done in his situation?
‘WIBTA if I ask my wife to stop hiring help?’🙄
‘AITA for refusing to wake up to take care of our baby?’ 😑
