Hi all! I'm a mod at !WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone a trans inclusive woman only group. I'd really like to do some parenting posts. I'm not a parent so can't do good ones.

Would anyone be able to assist?

While I overall agree, it seems to me there is quite an unbalanced societal pressure applied to me and my partner regarding parenting our kid.

While in the house we are both equally engaged and we split tasks easily, outside the house gender norms are often expected. When father changed a nappy, the extended family was swooned, when mum did it was expected. Now, father is not expected to enforce discipline, his expected role is fun dad. Mum is expected to be 100% always in control of the situation and the disciplinarian.
