Why is it...

Men don't get as involved in looking after the baby as the mum does.... Is it normal that they question there choice of having a baby in the first place
It started after the hunter gatherer period ended and people stopped living in tight nit communities.
When men and women moved into a house with nobody else and started raising children, the man would work and the woman would stay home, it was also the beginning of sexism towards women, happened about 6,000 years ago, prior we were equals who shared all duties

@MushroomFaerie I know this but he doesn't give her much time even when he's at home
@MiraRoss no it doesn't, times are changing though, we have to keep fighting the chauvs. Some say we are already there and to shut up but that's bull

@MiraRoss

From my understanding, Mira, it's either wired into our DNA or the socio-biological conditioning. While it's true that there are some men who have a Mrs. Doubtfire affinity to parent and nurture children, quite a few don't. Men from the dawn of time have impulses to procreate then defend what is theirs, such as family or community. This doesn't include changing diapers and a host of daily care activities that a growing child needs from a parent.

Not all men are like that.

@chrisCA sometimes I feel like he just agree because it's what I wanted

My husband didn't know how to care for our children. He lacks almost all sense of empathy and couldn't read their cries. So he focused ob the financial responsibility while I focused on the household/ parenting responsibility.

@Princessvampilia yeah but he's had three other kids so he should know really

Depends on the person. The mother is naturally better/more interested than the male on average, men are made more as providers.
I was involved, especially the disgusting things, because my wife tends to get grossed out.

Mothers are normally the more protective of the parents.

It’s not like babies come out of men. In other words it’s been in our nature for millions of years of evolution. Animals are the same way.

@SamuraiJack no one said they did. He's had three other kids I'm a first time mum, bit of help would be great or even advice. I've done it on my own

In that case it’s him and not men. I feel bad for you.@MiraRoss
