This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Eh, I've heard of some men that never got up in the night to deal with the baby / kids. I can understand how a partner could be driven to the brink by that.

That's totally an older generation thing. My father refuses to change diapers unless he's the only one there. The grandfather brags that he never changed a diaper in his life. Yeah....that stopped with my generation.

Most millennial guys that I know are more invested in their kids. They change them, they wake with them, they play with them, they feed them. I don't understand why older men frowned upon it like it was some sort of horrible thing to take care of your own kids. Toxic masculinity is such a fragile, yet destructive thing.
