A mom sticks up for dads

]]> Sherry over at Inside Motherhood posted quite an interesting list of her pet peeves about how society portrays dads. Not quite what I expected from a motherhood blog, but right on! She makes some great points as these things make me mad, as well.

Peeve number 1, dads are portrayed as inept.

How many commercials or movies or TV plots revolve around a father who is just completely stupid when it comes to kids? The man may be a CEO of a major corporation or able to argue intense cases in court, or perhaps he can assemble a museum’s dinosaur skeleton in under ten minutes. However, flash to him being at home where his wife asks him to change the baby’s diaper – all of a sudden, the man is all thumbs, totally incapable of figuring out how the little tabs work, how to use a wipe, or just not realizing that you can’t walk off and leave a baby on a changing table.

Definitely worth a read.
