I found that parenting is definitely considered to be not a man's world. That is, looking through forum it seems to me that men don't exist in all this process... Do you think they are? :)

  Re: why parenting is considered to be a women's world on this site? Reply Contact Men are very important to the healthy development of a child. I wish this site were more directed towards PARENTS equally, since it is called Parenting Weekly, but the sad truth is that nowadays we don't have as many men who are willing to do the job of father; many are absent completely (or almost completely) by choice or custody situation, or they are absent because they are working long hours and are uninvovled. There are many great men out there who do the right thing and are wonderful fathers. My husband will be one of these when our little one is born! Your kids are very lucky to have a great man like you who is able and willing to do the job of FATHER. ;)

  Re: why parenting is considered to be a women's world on this site? Reply Contact Parenting is definitely a job for TWO!! If it wasnt for my husband, I dont think our girls (6months and 8years) would be as "comfortable" with life as they are. He is such a gem and takes care of them fully - I am talking diaper change, bath time, feeding, oohhh i could go on. He is more flexible with his time and therefore spends more time with the wee one at home and she started holding her own bottle at 2 months, started sitting at 4 1/2 and is now weaning so confidently you would think she was a pro. I love that my husband is my partner in all ways, bringing up these girls is a joy and I dont think that I could have done it if he was not involved as much as he is.....
