RE: Sex Doesn't Matter

in Reflections23 days ago

There is some weird assumption that mothers just somehow magically know what to do.

they don't but if there is a decent support network at least have the stereotypical advantage of being able to learn and access help in a hurry

And the stupid stereotype of dads being clueless is perpetuated by way too many guys having learned helplessness/straight up refusing to do anything which is generally either they're really straight up that freaking useless and lazy and selfish (I'm not annoyed in the slightest* by that one parent I knew of at all who has the delusion that because he has a full time job he is fully entitled to hours and hours and hours of uninterrupted "me time" but would flip out if his wife did the same and also gets mad about "having" to "babysit" his own kid) and other times have a control freak wife who absolutely needs it done precisely her way and every other way is wrong and her husband is a terrible person for not learning how to do it "properly" (sometimes the husband does need to learn how to do it properly, most of the time it's fine just not done exactly the way control freak wants it but if you explain that one to them and how just letting some things go would give them the time that they insist they so desperately crave but that apparently causes more butthurt and I guess some people just really adore complaining above all else).

Each child has their individual quirks and interest areas and requires different kinds of support.

This made homeschooling particularly entertaining and ditto for the groups I coach XD
