My wife is out having a treat yo self afternoon getting her haircut, shopping, etc. she deserves it, she’s amazing.
So I decide to take my daughter and our pup out for a walk around town (which u do often anyway). While out, multiple times people have commented with things like “wow double duty!”, “go dad!”, “wow pup and baby huh?”.
And it struck me. Guarantee my wife doesn’t get any comments like this. People assume this is more the women’s role, it’s “amazing” that I’m doing this, or they have super low expectations of dads. Probably all three.
What’s funny is this isn’t “duty” for me. This is *the thing* for me. I am out in the sunshine, by the ocean, in a community I love, with my pup and baby. It’s a joy and privilege to have this free time. Any job I have or bitcoin I try to stack is for more time with my family, period.
Good dads should be overjoyed to spend time with their fam and do things like this. It’s nothing special or “hard” lol. Being a great dad is the ability to set your life up in a way that gives you time to be all in with your fam and set them up for success and joy. Period.
We stack sats for them.

Yes!!!!!
I made sure to pick a husband who wanted to be an involved dad, and not just a husband who babysits our kids sometimes, cause just no!
Word LFG Dad-life rocks! I just call it life :)
Exactly 💯
Love this! I have the ultimate girl dad and he is THE BEST! 💗🫶🧡💜
Strong agree, as the dad to a 3 month old. 💪🏼 Fridays are for the boys in this house
I have told multiple dads that, it is not babysitting if they are your kids, then it is just being a dad.
The more dads (and mums) that realize this, thr better the world will be.

I do stuff like this all the time, and never hear a word. Maybe I'm unaproachable, maybe you live around a lot of retards. Who knows?
“Bitcoin is for the people, baby.”


My wife used to sau stuff like "you're on baby duty" or "I need to go out, so you'll have to babysit". She says those things because that's the way people talk. I pointed out to her every time that I'm the father, not the babysitter. She has changed the way she says those things now.

It’s 2025. It ought to be normal for both parents to share all responsibilities in order to give kids a rounded upbringing.
No parent should be solely responsible for anything family related, be it finance, planning, mental load, health, building, etc.etc.
If there’s one duty to fathers it’s to live in a way that shifts culture of parenthood.
My wife worked full-time when my son was a baby 10 years ago and I spent my days walking around wearing a baby sling, working on playground with a notebook on my lap. I was the absolute only male wherever I went. I did not get many friendly looks, felt like an intruder of value systems many times. Ok, to be fair, this was a small Austrian city, but even there things have changed since.
I takes time it takes patience and there is still a long way to go.
Anyone dedicating their time and energy to bringing up the next generation is doing society’s most valuable work - mum or dad, grandma or grandpa, aunt or uncle. It’s the work itself that’s vital. And should be recognized as such.
