My wife expects me to spend tons of time with my kids. This whole WOKE thing has gone too far.

Join the club. I've been babysitting all day...

You are right. It is far better dragging up tired tropes and beating them to death on a toxic message board.

Is your name Seth by chance?

I feel bad for you guys. I actually just got back from my quarterly breakfast with a married friend who has a 2 year old. Constantly checks his watch during these little meet ups and after an hour or so needs to bolt back home.

I think what's interesting for me is that I remember growing up. My Dad worked and my Mom stayed home. My family was lower middle class for much of my preadolescence, but we made it work and we kids were none the wiser. I remember my Dad going on long bike rides on most Saturdays or Sundays with a couple of his friends. That is to say, he was around, but he wasn't around all the time and I was generally encouraged to be independent along with my Brother so his typical absences weren't considered a problem in any sense of the word. We'd go out and play in the backyard while Mom would check in. When Dad would get back, we'd hang out with him and his friend in the garage while they drank beer and did maintenance of their bikes.

I guess what I am trying to say is you married guys as a collective have sort of forged the path of least resistance into this weird new dynamic and you'll need to find a way to leverage it back to a more manageable level. This whole "the husband is the family plow horse" arrangement is not only unhealthy, but it's a terrible example to set for your sons. But hey, "Happy Wife, Happy Life", amirite? lol.

“And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me. He’d grown up just like me”.

What do you want to do instead? I miss those days now that they are grown, by their age.

Gd hippies!

wejo, is she being unreasonable because she has to trot off to work everyday while you lounge around the house in lifelong unemployment?

WOKE is pedo grooming, sexual mutilation of children, etc, etc, etc. Even the mainstream Democrats are having to pretend to address it, before so many have openly rejected party of Evil that they can't rigg the election like 2020.

Bill Maher Calls Out Hollywood Pedophilia And The Gay Agenda In Schools

Even moderate liberals are noticing that woke behavior is destroying what remains of their image...

Anyone who gets all loud and foamy mouthed about politics is poor, like money poor. People who know how to work the system are either happily milking it or know how to change it to get what they personally want, and don’t get all activist about it supposedly on behalf of all society.

What’s woke about those things?

I'll volunteer to spend some time with your wife and kids. I'll play sports with the kids and water sports with your wife.

LOL, this is the truth. 10 point for this post!

What’s the deal with these kids? I mean they’re there when you wake up and they’re there when you go to bed. They never leave. They don’t pay rent, a lot of the younger ones are illiterate. Theyre these tiny little bums. Always asking for spare cash or a snack or a drink. I was talking to my kid the other day and asked what he wanted to do today and he’s says “goo goo gaa gaa”. I mean what’s the deal with that?

It's the tradeoff the parents make for their selfish act of sexually bringing a baby into the world who can not even give consent to be born.

I can’t believe this is a real post. Nobody is this lame.
