    Why are men wearing babies in sling's like kangaroos ?
    I just saw a lad there and he looked awkward and uncomfortable and he had love handles sticking out of it !

    Is it the sling you have the issue with or the man and the baby?

    Because sometimes its more convenient than pushing a buggy/pram, because they love their baby, because the baby likes it, because its 2017 and not the dark ages, because equality, because it can be comforting to the baby, because dads are parents too, because there is absolutely no good reason not to

    The title sounded a lot more Buffalo Bill/Silence of the Lambs than what we got.

    It's the 'my life is ruined' badge. They most likely have no choice in the matter and it's easier than carrying it.

    And did your dad carry you as a "My life is ruined" badge or did telling you you were a mistake suffice?

    I've noticed it more recently, I think it's cool. I did it a few times with my little lad but never found it comfortable for either of us so mostly stuck with a buggy or just carried him.

    My mum remembers the first time she saw a man pushing a pram.
    It was the mid 60s and she pointed it out to my dad saying 'that will be you one day'.
    He laughed all the way to the 70s.

    If it's comfortable for the baby, the father likely doesn't give a **** what you think. I know I wouldn't :)

    Jaysus, fair play. Not everyday a man admits having a little lad.

    Well i don't go up to the poor feckers in public, so this thread is obviously just for opinions. Of course they don't know or care what i think.

    Your smiley face with the expletives is a bit Fintan Stack!

    Probably because the babies dungaree wearing vegan mother hasn't the muscle mass to carry it, and he is completely puzzywhipped, and is too tired for a row...

    I'm not gay myself, and no idea who this guy is, but jaysus he makes a carrying a baby look as sexy as having a holstered Smith and Wesson beneath his jacket.

    Is this a new thing? I've photos of my Dad carrying me in a sling when I was a baby, that was in 1989.
