re: Do you think dad can do as good of a job as mom?

Household yes! Better than me! ( except buying healthy food)... watching our son...no...he has no patience and some anger problems

I think it depends on the couple

I dont think all Dads cant, but my hubby has fully admitted that he cant do everything I do.

My husband was a stay at home father on the week days. He did great for the most part.

Cooks cleans and takes care of the kiddos.

He even washes dishes better then I can.

Some can...mine...eh...not so much.

I just ask for him for the things I can't do, it works better for us this way,lol

My hubby does an awesome job. Only time I've ever left instructions was when the kids were babies and I told him what times they had been fed and needed to be fed again. Or now I let him know like when theyre sick and I let him know when I gave meds last and when they need it again.

Other than that, nope.

Quoting Mrs. Purplelady:" Why is it that moms think dads can't handle the household/kids like they can? Do you leave instructions for dad when you leave the house?"

i think there are plenty of dads that would do a great job.
DH is an awesome dad, but if he could never deal with DD when she is sick, he wouldnt know the first thing to do or how to even tell.
he would let her be dirty and leave the house trashed. he also does not think much about safety. he never realizes that she is still little (she is 2 now) and cant do everything he wants to do with her and that he has to slow down etc.
i honestly do not think he could handle being a single dad to her with me out of the picture or being away for more than a few hours.
