What is a Father’s role in raising his kids? This T-shirt has gone viral because of the blunt message written on it about Fatherhood.



This T-shirt has popped-up on my social media feeds several times over the past few days. It reads “Dads don’t babysit. (It’s called “Parenting”). It was posted on Reddit and Facebook by the Dad Network.


Isn’t it considerate to give mom a break? Shouldn’t the man be more active in their family life? Is it proper to assume the mum is the primary parent? These are some of the reactions the message on the T-shirt has generated on the role of a father in raising his children. 

Some of the Facebook and Reddit comments are so hilarious but yet true. 
A user posted “My husband will occasionally say that “you owe me for babysitting last Saturday”……You are their father, you were parenting!

Other users complained that there are other barriers to equating the role of fathers to mothers in the society too such as baby changing facilities in public places usually stationed in the ladies restroom.

What’s your take?

  4. It's as if women are naturally blessed with the gift of doing it without feeling it. Men do it as well but very difficult and stressful. Abeg they should continue with it and d kitchen wahala while we concentrate more on hustling. Lolzzzzz
