What are you thankful for today??

[Lilith7]

I think that's one of the best things about the world we live in now; that men are able to & want to, take on more of the parenting role than formerly. I think it benefits the entire family to have a proper dad rather than a distant father figure who's always away at work.

Yes indeed, it's been one of the upsides to covid I think. The young couple in front of me, are having their second baby at the end of January, and the dad was saying that he's so excited. I thought 'how cool is that'. It's so lovely to hear men being so vocal about his excitement.

Our dad's were always away at work lilith. I can remember when Dad would come home from work, and it was exciting to see him. Being the only girl, I was a daddy's girl, and I am so proud to have had a Dad who was a hard worker and provided for his family.

  There were some families then whose Mums would tell the kids to 'wait till your father comes home'  if they misbehaved, & if they'd done something really naughty, those kids would be in for a hiding. Usually known as 'a bloody good hiding' back then.
You never saw a bloke pushing a pram then, either - & if one did well then, he was probably some kind of sissy.
Its a good thing that those days are gone.
