    Yeah, it’s easier to want something when someone else is taking on the burden of that responsibility.

      There are dads out there that still make a lot of sacrafices for their children. Sure they didn’t carry the pregnancy but a good dad still supports their spouse during and after the pregnancy as well as supports the kids. Good dads will lose sleep, change diapers, work extra hours for extra cash, and make other sacrafices for their kids. Just because a man did not get pregnant does not mean they had no burdens. Parenting is a team effort.

        For sure. I was one of those dad’s who did all that.

        But that doesn’t compare to staying home with them all day, losing a career because of them, changing your appearance, etc.

        I don’t fault women at all for not wanting them.

        I wonder how many stay at home dads in the survey responded by saying they’d want more.
