Not truthfully. That would be impossible. The real question was what would you know about being a mother and it's degree of difficulty?

What would a mother or a woman know about what it is like being a father, for that matter? I have been married for over 25 years, we have four children we equally take responsibility for. I have a mother and two sisters as well, so I think I have a good understading of what motherhood is all about. The fact remains that there are too many perks and slaps on the backs for women on the basis of being a mother or "SuperMom" and nothing but misandry, conempt and condescention for men as fathers. Is it the hardest job in the world to be a mother? I don't know, is it the hardest job in the world to be a father? You don't know. Capisce?

Why is it that the househusbands I know personally (and have read about/watched on TV) who have 100% responsibility for the children and the house all say it's a lot easier than working, and none of them have some giant identity crisis where they're losing their minds and talking about how unfulfilled they are? For the most part they develop an orderly system and are very efficient, and generally enjoy destressing from the career push and doing what they say is a much easier job.

It's only women in my experience who bitch and moan endlessly about the situation no matter WHICH way they have it.

Yet men are looked down upon as leeches when they take on this most difficult job that "only mothers know" about. What a load of pure sheeeeeeeeeite.

Go figure; men are now starting more and more to sacrifice their careers for their children...the very same choice women have been making that leads to that mythical "wage gap". Ten bucks women get severely pissed that their roles as sole owners of the children are being usurped...
