I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.

Ok, you just struck a nerve here, that shit drive me crazy.
I’m a first time father of a 6 months old and I love him to death. I want to spend every waking moment with him so I take up as much “baby works” as possible since his birth. Bath, feeding, changing, play, exercise, going outside, doctor appointments, I do all those things.
And EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME I got asked “where’s the mother?”, “Is she busy today so you’re babysitting?”, “Why you have to babysit today?”
HAVE TO? removed! This is my fuckin pleasure, I’m craving it, I’m addicted to this little poop machine. GTFO!
I want to yell at their face “THIS IS MY SON, I LOVE HIM, CAN’T I JUST BE WITH HIM!?”
My wife admitted that I do a much better job taking care of our baby. I am kind of “extra careful” type of person and I’ve been taking care of foster newborn kittens for a decade, and believe it or not but some skills does transfer over. Infants is basically function on pure instinct, and I’m damn good at anticipate it. I can accurately translate my son’s cry 90% of the time. He has 3 distinct cries for hungry, sleep, and diaper change, then later another “i’m bored” cry.
My wife would often call me on the phone to have me listen to his crying and ask what’d he want.
I’m a damn good father and I’m proud to take care of him. I don’t have to do it, I GET TO do it!
Brother, you got it exactly. Being a parent isn’t a chore I’m doing, it’s my primary vocation.
