Attending a waterpark with family requires active participation from both parents. A post on Reddit raises concerns about a father who opts to relax while his partner manages their child alone. This raises questions about the distribution of parental duties and the implications of one parent not engaging in the family experience. Many commenters emphasize the need for shared responsibilities, asserting that true partnership involves equal contributions to family enjoyment and care. The scenario reflects broader issues regarding the expectations placed on parents, particularly fathers, in family settings.
If dad is relaxing on a chair in the shade all day, who's watching the kid at the water park all day? Is your relaxation coming at the cost of another person's labor?
Opting out completely is not something you can do. This is part of being a partner.
Let's say y'all are there 4 hours; 1 hour 20 minutes should be spent relaxing, 1 hour 20 minutes should be spent letting mom relax, 1 hour 20 minutes should be spent as a family.
As a fellow father, it's not a vacation for Dad until the kids are 16+.
