I take care of my daughter so I'm less of a man?
Listen I work a lot but my main goal is the keep my family happy and help it prosper. Some people want the man to work 7 days and have some or little interaction with the kids and leave all children duties to the wife. I have no issue with this at all but I work and take of my daughter the majority of the time. So I'm less of a man because I'm home more and I make the doctors appointments? It is 2011. Who cares which parent does what? I grew up mostly in a single parent household so you want to say that I am overcompensating then fine but don't you dare say I am less of anything because I take care of my daughter. The men who aren't the bread winners and stay home are just as strong as the women that do so do we take away their man card? When one person in the family has a chance to move forward the sacrifice is for the other person to take a step back and support in any way they can. The thing is I don't look at spending more time with my little girl as a sacrifice. It is what it is but it doesn't make me less how about you look at it this way. It makes me more.
