This Dad Stayed Home For Five Years & Now He Resents Men Too

"Being a stay-at-home dad the last five years has caused me to grow resentful toward other men,"

"I feel like as a guy, the more accomplished you are, the more achievements you have, the more hobbies you're involved in, the better shape you're in, the more likely you ain't sh*t as a dad. I know that's harsh, I know that doesn't apply to all men, but by and large that sh*t f*cking tracks."

"Being in this role just forces you to see how men collectively, myself included, have dropped the ball for generations in terms of supporting our wives and our children,"

After five years as a stay-at-home dad, a father reports growing resentment toward other men because many accomplished men still do little childcare or domestic labor. He observes that external achievements and physical fitness often mask a lack of involvement as a parent. The stay-at-home role exposes which partners carry household labor and reveals that many men remain the 'main character' at home by virtue of earning the paycheck. He asserts that men collectively have dropped the ball for generations in supporting wives and children. Other stay-at-home fathers respond with empathy and shared accounts of the role's challenges.
