like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

I really want to read up on some the studies that they were talking about in this article but they didn’t appear to cite any sources. Anyone know where they got the numbers from?

They did have many of them, they just did nothing to make it clear as far as formatting they were there. I accidentally noticed there were links hidden in much of the text.

Roles of Moms and Dads Converge as They Balance Work and Family

The New Dad: The Career-Caregiving Conflict

Dads are often having fun while moms work around the house

Working dads have guilt, too

I’m the primary breadwinner—and I still shoulder most of the housework

I don't have any kids, and my dad could have done a significantly better job, though less was probably for the best as it was. I'm happy you guys are trying to do better than what many of you experienced growing up. Me and my brother still couldn't tell you why our parents bothered to have kids as they don't seem to have ever really enjoyed having us around very much. So know you play an important role, no matter how things turn out. You don't need to be perfect, just be there.

Well thanks for the help, sure seems like you turned out pretty solid any how didn’t you.

Yeah, it just took a lot longer to figure it out on my own, but I got there! 😅
