I think there is nothing as masculine as being a great hands on father. Most women find it very attractive.

It is so attractive, I love how amazing my boyfriend is with our daughter.

She's gone away with my parents for the weekend since yesterday evening and this morning he text me and said he missed her... Well if I had of been at home

Hopefully this will reverse the trend of men being afraid to be near kids.

McDermotX · 07-09-2013 02:37PM

Bollocks to that................kids are the future, today belongs to me !

Fair play to them, taking an interest in their families.

Youi should see the stuff she wrote when she was only Legs.One

(apols legs, everything from legs.five on was pure class:D)

cletus van damme · 07-09-2013 03:03PM

fair play to the OP for bring up this travesty.

nothing worse than bringing my kids to the play ground to be confronted by metro sexual fools with a gadget,bag or lotion for everything all the while giving you the snooty looking while the drinking their fair trade coffee .

It is possible to go to a playground without the need for coffee..:rolleyes:

I think they're upset that they're too old be hipsters.

I agree with op. Hopefully i'll be off shore when my first child is born. It's horrific and society bullies me to be there

Rereg. I've been here long before you were even born (assuming you were born in 2008).

monkeysnapper · 07-09-2013 04:51PM

I'm one of them op, I even hate coffee but feel I have to drink it in the presence of the other ladies in the local mother/ toddler group I go to every week.

We're looking to get the name of the group changed to make it fair for the fathers . I was horrified last week when one of the mothers asked me if I could fix the puncture in her apple candy. Do I look like I can afford another hand manicure.

mfceiling · 07-09-2013 05:07PM

Hmmm...

Father of 3 girls here OP. Take them to swimming lessons, birthday parties etc...jesus i even took them on holidays to italy this year (tuscany, just to rub in the metro, middle class smugness even more).

Yeah i've even taken them to the park (with my coffee in hand).

Guess what i looked forward to more than anything in the world when i was a young kid? My dad coming home from england on a friday night/saturday morning from driving a truck - then going with him to the cafe for a sausage roll and a juice on a saturday afternoon before he got his stuff together for heading back to england on a sunday morning.

Yeah, fcuk these kids nowadays with both parents wanting to be involved in their lives...

You get involved in your girls' lives? Bad enough fathers getting involved in their sons' lives but at least they do need to show the little tykes how to fight and do back-breaking laborious jobs.

But fathers getting involved in their daughters' lives? I'm sorry but you have the ghey.

clairefontaine · 07-09-2013 05:10PM

I don't agree most five year old boys are just like girls nowadays.

But I do think kids overall are very cushioned these days.

But then I think every generation says that.

endacl · 07-09-2013 05:16PM

Where's OP at?!?

Boom_Bap · 07-09-2013 05:17PM

So OP, I should just push my young fella out of a moving car near the school, while eating a raw steak, throw a hand grenade, while chopping wood with a dead hooker in the boot and swigging whiskey and not look back?

Thanks for the parenting advice.

Has anyone else noticed the rise of Super Dad. They are fully informed of everything child related, take the little "guys" to all activities, of which there are plenty.

Have a smug little look, tend to dress as metro's. Love having a "coffee and chat" with other mothers

Catch a grip, no wonder most 5 year old boys are girls in all but physical form.

When I bring my kids to school or sport I make sure to stand around like a cranky old cnut and refuse to talk to anyone in case I get mistaken for one of them metrosexual, smug dad's. I miss the old days - when I could come home from work and slap the wife around a little if the dinner wasn't on the table.

I think it's a good thing that fathers are taking a much greater role in the upbringing of kids. It's much better than previous generations of fathers who were only providers and didn't interact much with the kids.

I often think this to myself, as i take sly looks down the low cut tops of the mothers of the kids my young ones play with at the park...

The age of the dad hiding behind the newspaper with his pipe is long over.

However, I kind of get what OP is talking about in some ways.

There is a certain constituent of eunachised husbands in lavender Ralph Lauren shirts, castrated themselves, who are inhibited to do more traditional fatherly things, like encourage risk taking pushing ones own boundaries etc.

He's probably playing golf, from a quick look at his post history. Could have guessed he'd be into golf anyway, without even looking.

osarusan · 07-09-2013 05:38PM

I got involved in my daughter's school trip! I volunteered.

VOLUNTEERED!
