Tell you what, when men throw up 24 hours a day for 3 months straight, carry a baby for 9 months, go through a 74 hour labour & can breastfeed their babies then feel free to share the paid time off work to care for the baby. Until then, bugger off.https://twitter.com/benatipsosmori/status/1114815127147220992 …

In my case the supposed "morning sickness" was 24/7 for around 6 months, abated, then returned in labour but, thankfully, labour was short. Only really after the birth did my tastebuds return & I could tolerate the smell of food &, particularly, coffee without retching.

Actually paying fathers good money for being stay at home dad's money which the family would lose if he didn't, like they tried in Denmark. Might be the only solution we have found to solve the motherhood wage gap? Needs to be enough money most people can't afford to turn down...
-
The motherhood wage gap is often the choice of women who prefer to work part time and balance work with family life. Life isn’t all about money.
-
Yes but if more fathers are enabled and encouraged to be the primary carers it leads to more equality of opportunity. Some women aren't natural nurturers, some men are. For some being a parent is their favourite thing, for others it can be their biggest regret.
-
Julia doesn't want men earning money to stay at home and help their recuperating wives with nurturing their own children. That's not the smartest thing I've read today.

Yes that was your experience but not every woman goes through the same one! I know lots of men including myself who are hands on (ok we may not go through the labour part but sure get stuck in when the baby is here) Your tweet implies otherwise. Have a good day.
-
My husband is a wonderful, fully engaged and devoted father but he couldn’t breastfeed, no matter how hard he tried.
-
I don't doubt he is either, but not all woman choose to breastfeed therefore men are able to help with feeding duties. Yes you're right, I wouldn't expect him to be able to breastfeed considering he is a man.

Similar here - mercifully short labours, but the sickness was hideous.

That's known as the Corbyn effect. Never go into labour.

We can't all be good at everything. Just settle for being almost perfect julia! Even Mary Poppins was only practically perfect in every way.

So sad, because I'd love it if there had been lots more little Julias.
