Are dads still like that? The young dads I know are pretty involved in their children's lives

    My wife went out Christmas shopping while I took my toddler to go play in the snow.

    Separating responsibilities is functional, I don't understand the negatives here.

    I think its more referencing the dads who are entirely uninvolved untrained the their kids lives whatsoever to the point they don't even participate in any Christmas planning or prep for the family.

    Not your specific situation.

    All dads I know including myself are the opposite. They do all the shopping and wrapping.

    My wife did basically all the shopping and wrapping.

    But i drove across the state christmas eve to pick up the kitten and hid it for hours. And built all the things that needed to be assembled. I was up til about one while she was in bed by 9. Then the stuff that wasnt from santa was built today.

    Each parent doesnt need to be involved in everything to still be involved.

    My wife did the shopping for some of the bigger ticket stuff, I did the stocking stuff (which included some fun toys), I did most of the wrapping but it probably would've been more even split if she didn't have a chronic disease sapping her energy.

    I feel like people assume parenting is everyone doing everything.

    As a dad, I cook and clean. I wash dishes. I organize.

    My wife wash clothes, fixes things around the house, and shops for goods.

    So yeah, she buys all the presents, because she loves doing it. I'm making Christmas breakfast and dinner, because that's my thing. We can do both.

    I did basically all the gift shopping this year and set up all the Santa stuff with the help of one of my older kids as my wife was knackered yesterday.

    Other years my wife has done the bulk of the shopping and we usually do the setup together. There's no structure to who does the shopping I suppose, it's more whoever has the time or energy any given year.

    I love men! In many ways I prefer them because I find them more straight forwards than women. Of the 3 people I trust the most, 2 of them are men.
