The Gender-Role Revolution: We Still Have Work to Do

Posted on 14. May, 2007 by rebel in General

I’m emptying my inbox this morning and found this delightful note from the Pampers people (ital mine):

Dear Brian,

From the moment you first held your newborn
baby in your arms, you knew that things would
never be the same again. Suddenly, you’ve
become a teacher, a nurse, a coach, a playmate
and a friend. But, above all, you are a mother.

Because your little one may not yet realize how
hard you work every day, we at Pampers would
like to thank you for everything you do. Happy Mother’s Day!


The struggle continues …

    It’s unbelievable. I love the Dr. Sears approach to parenting but I cannot read his books anymore. It’s over and over and over again…. “Mommy does this. Mommy does that. Mommy takes care of the child. She needs Mommy. When Daddy comes home from work, then HE can help.”

    It’s craziness, I never thought I’d feel like part of a minority!
