This is great, Andrew! So glad you shared it as I'd missed it the first time. I can totally relate. Any time my husband changed a diaper (which, thankfully, was very often) my mom would swoon and say, "What a catch! He's just amazing." : )
I love a good post that makes me laugh, seethe, burn with rage, then laugh again, and inspire me to throw our son's clean laundry on my husband's side of the bed in hopes he gets tired of sleeping on it and folds it. (My husband is great, very helpful, but I do hate folding laundry.) Great post, Andrew!
You know I’m going to love this one, Andrew! And yes, for the dads out there doing the real work of parenting, it makes total sense that this unearned praise for other dads is as irksome to you as it is to so many moms! If you haven’t read Clint Smith’s poem, “Gold Stars,” I encourage you to check it out. You would most definitely relate!

You’re so lucky!

Thanks, Shelly! Laundry is the worst.
Thanks for the shout out and I think the piece does hold up!

Just read it. Yep, that is a great one!
Reminded me of your "dad bummed he didn't get praise for taking kids to grocery store" humor piece on Medium, one my all-time faves!
Thanks! Probably about time to roll that one out again lol.
Thank you! I will def check that one out.
