		<description><![CDATA[You should be more pissed off than you are!! When our child was born 1 lb 9 oz premature, my wife got counseling, provided by our insurance, Dr’s. And Nurses helped her learn how to care for our daughter during the first year.  Help with post partum depression for the next year, constant reassurance from friends and family that everything would work out ok and our baby would be just fine. Thank fully everyone was right and our daughter is now 8 year old and perfect.   But what I got was and emergency call from my wife, saying she was being admitted to surgery and I had to come to the hospital right now.  Once at the hospital I was lead into a hall out side the operating room by someone who didn’t know what the problem was. Sitting alone for almost an hour (now three hours since my last contact with my wife) in a cold plastic chair as staffed walked to and fro, with every horrible thought I could imagine with no one around, wondering what was going on.  I got friends and family constantly asking “how my wife was, how the baby is”not once“how you are?” I got a visit from a counselor not to help with my fears and concerns, but so my wife could help me understand her fears and worries. The whole time I have to go to work, with no maternity leave for me, only able to visit my daughter in the hospital after all the social workers, counselors and my wife had gone home.  Crying, alone as I listened to the sound of the machines my daughter was hooked up too for 6 months without a kind word to be heard from anyone. The nurses didn’t even know my name though I was there every night. I was always referred to as my daughter’s father or my wife’s husband.  Coming home to a worried sick wife that just need to not think about it for a few hours, that is how my life as a father began.  So I see things like that and it really pisses me off you]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hear but...you need to remember women, and in particular wives criticize - everything, and sometimes they&#039;re mean just because they can be without consequence. That&#039;s what they do, and they do it in great amounts. So brother, play the long game and role with it; go along with their superiority complex, let them think you are a no nothing dolt, it&#039;s all just water off a ducks back. You&#039;re in it to make sure your wife&#039;s criticism doesn&#039;t put your kids in therapy for the rest their life, and that one day they can cut the cord and conquer the world on their own.

If you were to look deep down inside yourself, you&#039;d see that you&#039;re doing this for the satisfaction of moving life forward, not for a pat on the back, a congratulations, or even a thank you. You want glory, and recognition become an NBA star; you want to move the human race forward, become a dad. No one beyond yourself every needs to know all the clever, smart, ingenious, creative ways you helped your kids, and - ahem - your wife, become stronger more resilient people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for the comments everyone. I wondered how this would be received and I appreciate all the kind words.

And &quot;Real Man,&quot; I&#039;d love to hear how I&#039;m &quot;misogynist.&quot; You know, since I&#039;m calling for added male involvement in caretaking and household duties, as opposed to putting it all on women. You should try looking words up in the dictionary first before trying to use them. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re the antithesis to a &quot;real man,&quot; my not-so-bright friend.]]></description>
