They are clearly saying because they provide for the family the are the most important and not thanked appropriately and women don't need extra.


I don't think it's really that. Society has always celebrated mothers and even with some culture shifts that hasn't changed. Just acknowledging a reality.

I was a single father for a decade. I'm more than aware of how hard all the things outside of providing are. Especially with 2 girls. I have a greater understanding and appreciation of those things than I would have otherwise had.

And totally in line with what you are saying. I'm important in my household even if I don't bring in any income and the financial burden falls on my husband. I'm not a leech, I'm fully aware of what he does, but I'm not some spongy asshole. We're a family.

Have you read my posts? I've said no such thing. In fact I said that being a single father for a decade gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of those things. I know what you do isn't easy.

I've simply said that no one (men or women) should be beat up for not frequently celebrating things we're supposed to do. I'm saying that our contributions to the family are equal.

Quote:
Masculinity is in crisis. The soul of men is at stake.

Society has turned up its nose to biblical definitions of manhood. Men from all walks of life are struggling.

Today men long for respect, purpose, and influence in their homes and communities, among their friends, and in the workplace. But many lack role models and a biblical road map for how to achieve their goals.

As a result, men face isolation, loneliness, and depression. They suffer from addictions to porn, alcohol, and substance abuse. Men are struggling with purpose, faithlessness, narcissism, abuse, and disengagement from their families and God. Now is the time for men to rise above the tide of culture and re-establish the servant leadership of men to their families.

More than ever, the world needs men to rise above the tide of culture and reclaim their biblical role as servant leaders to their families, churches, and communities.

That’s why we’re launching a new era of Promise Keepers.

We’re fighting to raise up a new generation of men of integrity — who will live out their identity in Christ — including those who never attend church. Men who will walk in humility and honor women and children above themselves. Men who will follow God no matter the
cost.

We’re building on the past to redefine the future.

Founded in 1990 by Coach Bill McCartney, Promise Keepers is one of the biggest movements of God in the history of the Church.

Focused on helping men live with integrity, Promise Keepers touched the lives of seven million men through its national conferences. On October 4, 1997, over a million of these men gathered in the National Mall of Washington, D.C. to take a stand for Christ.

Today, we’re on the move again. We’re praying for massive revival and transformation in our nation by 2025. You’re invited to join with us.

Men are seeking authentic relationships and real connections. They long to be men of influence within the workplace, among their friends, and within their own households. But these connections, these relationships, these identities are difficult to establish and maintain successfully.

Promise Keepers is here today to reunite, rebuild, re-imagine, and inspire the heart of men towards integrity.

With a firm conviction to awaken men of the church to Biblical responsibility, Promise Keepers will fight for a generation of men who walk in humility; honoring women and children above themselves. Partner with us as we develop a new wave of accountability, community, mission, and leadership support for the men of today.

Meet the new leadership and board.

Become a supporter of Promise Keepers, and together we can change the lives of men.

Spaulding feels guilty and is projecting. Gtfo

I got my wife a gift because having a baby is hard and a small couple hundred dollar necklace or earrings wasnt too much to ask.

Whole lot of projecting in this thread.

I agree with Hank.

Push gifts are the least you can do after what she just went through.

Daughter recently told me one of her friends was named a, "Social Media Influencer". I reminded her that when I would cut up hot dogs and mix them into the Mac and Cheese I made for them at sleepovers when they were in Junior High that her friend would say it was the best thing she had ever tasted. My daughter said, she remembered that very well to which I then asked wouldn't that make me an influencer of a social media influencer? She replied with usual, "OK Boomer" the kids use to stop discussion whenever someone older brings up the ridiculousness of something that they feel is important.

How about you take care of your wife and child? Does every occasion have to be a reason to buy fucking jewelry?

The capitalist will sell you the rope used to hang him.

No. I had one of those in a former life and she was a fucking bum. For every Spaulding there's 5 bums watching Oprah and Days Of Our Lives all day.

What kills me is the educated stay-at-home feminist Moms. There are some in my neighborhood that have law degrees and wore Hillary attire in 2016. They rail on men, misogyny, Trump, patriarchy, etc.

They don’t work outside the home, but have time for lunches with friends, yoga, bible study, tennis, etc. I think most have cleaning services.

So they are actually living like it’s 1956 and putting all the financial burden on their husbands, but pretend to be woke.

Why does staying at home prevent them from advocating or protesting against those causes.

Respectfully, I think you have it backwards. For every 5 Spaulding's there is a bum.

When my oldest daughter was born I was the guy who was working 10+ hour days 7 days a week driving all over Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana writing mortgage loans. I was pretty good at it. I essentially just went home to sleep and then I was out the door no later than 7am the following day. There were weeks when I would only see my oldest daughter sleeping. I would get home and complain about my clothes not being taken to the cleaners or why my daughter had on a dirty shirt and a bunch of other really petty things. In my mind what she was doing was easy. I was out busting my ass to put us in a house and take care of everything else.

I became a single father of 3 small kids a decade ago. I told myself how easy it would be. Within days I realized that I was in over my head. I didn't have enough time to do so many things. Pride and stubbornness were the only things that kept me from begging for help. Since that time I've realized that staying at home and taking care of the house and kids was a lot harder than going out and making a dollar. There are far more demands put on you and you just can't fly in and be the hero.

I've also seen male family members and friends get divorced and not even attempt to put up a fight to get custody of their kids. Unlike me, they knew they couldn't do the job. I'm confident if most men were forced to do what "housewives" do for a few weeks without help from their mother or any other female family member, they would never complain about what their spouse does at home again. It's not easy.

Those women should probably house alone and not try to find any ways to fill their time unless it's related to deifying their husband in some way. Their education is completely worthless shoulda kept em dumb I suppose.

Mostly true for when they are little it's easier as they age but they need to be driven around. I think I've told this story before. My husband travels, he came home one week and asked what I'd been doing and the house was a little messy. The next day I said I need to do errands and I disappeared from about 7 in the morning til about 7 at night. There was no dinner ready, the house was a little worse when I left it. I walked in and said the house is a little messy and where's dinner? What did you do all day? He nodded and said okay I got the message. It's also a fairly mundane existence. It's difficult in that it's very repetitive, can be lonely, and you never feel like you get it all done. Home the place where the breadwinners can't wait to come home and relax is viewed in some ways as the job by the stay at homers.

I've also seen male family members and friends get divorced and not even attempt to put up a fight to get custody of their kids. Unlike me, they knew they couldn't do the job. I'm confident if most men were forced to do what "housewives" do for a few weeks without help from their mother or any other female family member, they would never complain about what their spouse does at home again. It's not easy.


Mostly true for when they are little it's easier as they age but they need to be driven around. I think I've told this story before. My husband travels, he came home one week and asked what I'd been doing and the house was a little messy. The next day I said I need to do errands and I disappeared from about 7 in the morning til about 7 at night. There was no dinner ready, the house was a little worse when I left it. I walked in and said the house is a little messy and where's dinner? What did you do all day? He nodded and said okay I got the message. It's also a fairly mundane existence. It's difficult in that it's very repetitive, can be lonely, and you never feel like you get it all done. Home the place where the breadwinners can't wait to come home and relax is viewed in some ways as the job by the stay at homers.


She used to tell me that she had nothing of her own. Young Nas thought she was insane. I get it now.

Bathroom time isn’t even my own. The dog used to come in, people stand outside and ask questions that I have no answer to. Mom! Where’s my brush? :lol:
