My wife does the doctor work. Because I did the shopping, cooking, and dishwashing. You are just making judgments based on nearly zero information.
I don't think they're making judgments about every single dad, they're just saying that the stereotype of many fathers not interacting much with their kids holds true for more fathers than one might expect.
Soounds like validating a stereo type based off of 15 minutes of limited observation to me.
They're here to apply for a passport so both parents generally have to be here, and I really don't think I'm asking too much for men to interact with their kids for 15 minutes if they're not going to help with any of the paperwork. At least pay enough attention to keep them from running around getting into people's stuff.
And that is great. Do you think everybody else also has a household as comfortable with this kind of division labor?
I also noticed you didn’t say anything about who raises kids. That’s fine but it’s what this whole discussion is about ultimately. Caregivers are typically women by a large margin.
