I do however think swaddle pants could be an ingenious idea lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526967 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 07:16:17 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2526967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: @SugarplumsMom: that's what I thought too. I think society has too low expectations of dads generally but I didn't think this was all that big a deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526953 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 06:09:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2526953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought some of the pictures were pretty funny. I agree with @Corduroy: with the different approaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526949 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 05:48:33 +0000 Peasinapod 2526949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the photos just made me laugh. And I think it has more to do with in general moms look after babies more so when dads do they try to find some creative way to continue what they'd like to do. Obviously won't match up to every household but I think some would find it funny on a satirical level. My husband is amazing with my daughter but he definitely thinks outside of the box more with childcare then I do so on some level I could see him trying something weird with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526895 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 21:30:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2526895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: that made me roll my eyes super hard. 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526854 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:41:13 +0000 Happygal 2526854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the pictures did make me laugh, while others were kind of upsetting. But I know what you're talking about, and I was thinking about it earlier today. My friend shared a post by Dr. Bob Sears on FB, and I hated it! Here's a snippet: </p> <p>"ARE DADS EVER BETTER AT SOMETHING THAN MOMS?<br /> I've always figured no, at least when it comes to little babies. A patient once told me it's some sort of genetic superiority, but she's a girl, and not a doctor, so what does she know? Anyway, I met a dad today who would also beg to differ, and I think his wife actually agreed with him."</p> <p>Say what?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526835 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 18:28:44 +0000 regberadaisy 2526835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: exactly. It just adds to it. It's annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526814 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 16:45:27 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2526814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think even if it is satire, it's still adding to the "dads are idiots" culture and I can't stand it. But I also hate "reasons my kid is crying" because I think it's inappropriate to make fun of your kid for having emotions, so maybe I just don't have a sense of humor. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526799 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 15:42:39 +0000 Corduroy 2526799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it as highlighting how Dads can have a different approach. I didn't see all the pics but none of them look wrong or bad to me, just different. I like that DH and my brother often have easier/more efficient ways to get things done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526797 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 15:37:24 +0000 808love 2526797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dads make mistakes, get tired and are super out of the box resourceful so I'm ok with it and most Dads can laugh at it. If it was about moms, wrath be unleashed. :)<br /> Other stuff that are directly anti- Dad would not be appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526794 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 15:25:19 +0000 NavyRN2012 2526794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ive never seen it as being degrading of dads. I think these are pretty hilarious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526781 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 15:11:35 +0000 yellowbird 2526781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really thought of it as degrading towards dads. I just thought it was kind of funny. And even if dads are doing these things, I find them kind of hilarious and can see moms doing the same thing? Lol</p> <p>Especially that swaddle pants thing. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/satire-or-jab#post-2526765 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:32:53 +0000 regberadaisy 2526765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What say you, is this a satire or jab towards dads as parents?</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MyHealthList.net/posts/957792467660971" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/MyHealthList.net/posts/957792467660971</a></p> <p>Let's disregard that the FB page is a joke to begin with. But this whole berating of dads as parents in our culture is really annoying to me and pisses me off.</p> <p>My husband is a damn good dad. And he's not the only one I know. There are plenty of crappy dads AND moms out there. It's not fair to single dads out.</p> <p>Who's with me?! </p> <p>//end rant </p>
