“I’ve been dealing with it for months, but I’ve had enough. There is definitely discrimination towards dads out there. It seems like the changing station is in the women’s room. Family restrooms are few and far between, but they are definitely a necessity. I’m 31 years old, I like to go get a beer or two at breweries and maybe hit a restaurant that caters to my generation afterwards. I DON’T WANT MY CHILD TO BE TREATED LIKE HE ISN’T WANTED! STATION 2 I’M TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW! I shouldn’t have to change my child on the ground. He doesn’t care, but I care. “Family friendly” my ass! At least the lady at Ardent locked the Ladies’ room down so that I could change my son’s diaper. She also said that she would push to get a changing station in the men’s room. I usually take care of my son on the weekends, and I do my best to be social and be a normal 31 year old on my days off. I don’t know who to talk to about this, but I’m willing to be a mouthpiece if one is needed. It feels weird to say it, but for Father’s Day I want dads to be treated equal. We love our children just as much as moms do. Like the shit out of this, and let’s make a big deal out of it!”
I posted this to facebook after a very frustrating Dad day. I’m sure there are other dads out there that feel the same, but I don’t know how to do something about it. I figured ya’ll would help me out somehow. There’s more to being a dad than stacking Cheerios (but I really want to try that too, we just don’t have any in my house). Also, I’ve never blogged or anything like that. I just want my man cry to be heard!
