In reply to the discussion: "Women are expected to work like they have no children and parent like they have no job." [View all]BeneteauBum
(860 posts)24. As a single father who raised three daughters
There many valid points discussed here. However, I take issue with a few. I felt some of the post were exclusionary of so many fathers who have experienced the same issues concerning a womens harried life including financial problems. How many times I had to tell my boss (his wife raised their son) to put himself in my place. So many times I felt there was not enough time in the day
..burning the proverbial candle at both ends. There are variations in different narratives and not one fits all.

Yep. My mother won't bank with one of the major American banks because of a grudge related to that.

I mean...everyone is. It's just that women, for the most part, picked up the slack for some time, and now are not.
