Normalize male child care

This pleases me. I hate how Jeopardy introduces people by explaining what they do for money. Why not “father of two,” or “avid gardener and birdwatcher,” or “television enthusiast.”

I'm pretty sure the contestants get to choose what is said (for some time now.)

During the conversation portion he'll come up and say, "Next we have John Smith, self-described stay-at-home uncle. Tell us about that, John."

Because "father of 2" is mundane

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Having become father of one, I can assure you that "father of two" is not mundane. I can't fucking measure up to it; in this fucking day and age.

Sure, daily life for a parent is probably not mundane, but for the rest of it definitely is.

no, as in "there are not enough fathers of two to make it mundane anymore"

People are either having zero kids because everything is fucked, one kid because they want to have children and the world isn't made in a way where someone that's normal can keep their sanity and raise kids, or they are rich as fuck and busting nuts however many times they want to because it doesn't matter. Or they're poor as fuck and have been for generations, so their family is already enourmous, what's another couple mouths in a sea of hundreds?

Hentai enjoyer

Hell yeah. Nothing wrong with helping your sister/brother raise their children. Maybe the father/mother, or both, is gone/busy/sick/dead. Kudos to the uncle for stepping up. That's what family is all about

Who is John Daly?

Man is living the dream
