kids have two

Kids have two parents. So why is it always the mom who is expected to sacrifice everything? Her body changes, her time disappears, her dreams get pushed back and somehow that's just considered normal. Meanwhile, dad keeps chasing his goals, he is still, he's still got freedom. But mum, the mental load nobody ever talks about. The bottles, the doctor's appointments, the school forms, the groceries, the bedtime routine, the guilt. All while people criticize her for not doing enough. And somehow people still ask her why she is so tired. Being there on the weekends doesn't automatically make someone an equal parent. Doing the bare minimum doesn't deserve applause. When she has been carrying the family every single day. You can't be a part-time parent with full-time excuses when she's giving full-time love, full-time energy, sacrifice. You are doing what your child deserves. And this isn't about attacking fathers. It's about reminding fathers how much they matter. Children deserve two two parents who carry the hard days together. Because parenting isn't something you help and if she's carrying the entire family while you are only checking in, she is not raising a family with you. She is raising it despite you. You, follow me.
