Pervert!

This is a subject we talked about in some detail in our first week but this article just really stood out to me.

Don’t get me wrong I totally understand mothers wanting to protect their children but is this not going a bit too far? Now I’m not a mother clearly so I guess I just don’t have that super protective motherly instinct but this seems not only a little ridiculous but also very counter productive to what most women and specifically mothers say that want from a father, not to mention making a strong point about traditional gender roles. Traditional society would put men in the workplace so that MOM could afford to drive that Suburban to the waterpark and take pictures of the kids to show dad later. It was surprising to me to see that it was a band of mothers verbally attacking this seemingly caring, aparentally involved father. I would think that the mothers would be happy to see a father out with his children instead of the usual complaint about how dad won’t get out from in front of the TV to play with his kids. I guess that man should have been at the golf course or watching the game with his buddies instead of having a nice time enjoying some time with his children. Even though mothers are the group behind the complaint about uninvolved fathers, they are the ones perpetuating the notion that a dad SHOULDN’T be out with his father – lest he will be the target of some sort of social/societal punishment. I believe fathers should be equally as involved with their children as the mother should be and it is disappointing to see a group of mothers bashing a father for doing just that.
