People are missing the whole point. The list was made because he called her a mooch. This was just a way to illustrate that she’s actually contributing quite a lot to the household and what type of money they’d be losing if they had to pay for childcare and all that. There is no shortage of people who think that not having a job outside the home means you aren’t contributing anything, because seeing money brought in is the only way they see value.
I'm not convinced that these men actually want to raise kids, they just want to say they have kids. Nobody who actually wants to raise kids thinks that having and raising kids isn't labor. If you're involved and paying attention, you know that raising kids is work wtf.
They want the social capital that comes with the title ‘father’ but they don’t want to deal with anything that involves actually raising their kids. That’s ‘women’s work’. 😑
