I'm tired of being considered a second rate parent.  It's not that I act like a second rate parent and people judge me thus.  It's that as a male everyone assumes I'm second in line to my children as a parent.
Listen to this crap found at the Florida's homeschooling website:
"...encouraging the homeschool dad with practical tips on how he can support his wife through the homeschool years."
Why the assumption that the wife will be doing the real work and dad's just need to support her?
I see this everywhere.  It's like people assume I'm retarded or something.  "Mom, you do this with the kids.  Dad, here's how you can help."  I guess it doesn't occur to people that I like to take responsibility for my kids also.
In my house I do a lot more than the typical male roll of discipline.  I also spend about an hour a day with my daughter going over reading, writing, counting, the calendar, geography, etc.  I also show her how to play the guitar.  If my younger daughter's diaper is stinky, I have no qualms with changing it out.
I hate seeing in "comedy" shows where the male makes this big deal about changing a babies diaper.  It's not funny, it's stupid.  I'd equate it to making fun a black man for not being able to read, and the joke is that he's black AND he can't read.  That's not funny, it's stupid and offensive.
What really irks me is the male's who feed this stereo-type.  I ran into one the other day.  I was taking my girls to have their pictures taken (by themselves.)  I had spent a lot of time doing their hair up real nice and making them look nice for their photos.  When we showed up, their hair was messed up so I put it back up.  During the picture session a kid showed up with his parents.  The little boy was not into having his picture taken today.  When we were done they tried getting him to be on the stage and he wasn't having it.  When we were getting ready to leave the photographer was telling me a did a good job with their hair.  The little boy's mother was surprised that I did their hair.  I told her since I was a stay-at-home dad I had to learn how to do girls hair.  She told me she wanted her husband to be a stay-at-home dad but he refused.  She took on the job.
What an idiot.  Stay at home and be your own boss with your kid (YOUR kid) or be some jerks slave 40 hours a week.
I encounter these kind of people all the time.  There's nothing special about it.  It's a very natural thing for a man to be a part of his kid's life.  An equal part, just as the mother.  Not the part that doesn't inconvenience you.  Sheesh.
It's because of these people I have to deal with a sub-parent stereotype.
I mean, people don't even wait to see how I respond before judging if I'm man enough to take an equal part of parenting.  They assume I'm incapable of leading my kids, and just ask me to support mom.
Dad's you aren't mentally or physically challenged.  You are as good as your wife (or babies momma.)  You can do all the things she does.  You can be just as inconvenienced from time-to-time as the mother is.  You have to take an equal part in raising your kid.  Don't play to stereotypes that only certain parts of parenting are your job.  All parts of parenting are your job equally to the mother.  If you aren't up to the job, find a real man, have him marry your girl, and get out of the picture.  Elsehow dive right in.  Don't be luke-warm.
