I also disagree about the beach scenario. Those kids belong to both of them. I certainly expect my partner to not have to be asked to be a parent. He assumed mom will just take care of them and do whatever he wants, he didn’t ask, he didn’t offer a compromise, he just assumed someone is watching his kids. What if the reverse would have happened? Sara knows young kids need to be supervise on a beach. Any parent knows that much. To assume he could do whatever he wants while his wife parents, is really inconsiderate
My boyfriend and I often speak of the mom vs. dad expectations. It makes him nuts when dad’s are portrayed the way Sara’s husband acts. If dad’s want equality, there should be an expectation they are equally involved in their care.
I do think one of the biggest turn off to women with kids is having to tell their spouse to parent.
