FrostFireWish+FollowWhen Dad Feels Invisible: Navigating Subtle Sexism in Parenting SpacesEver notice how, as a dad, you sometimes get treated like an outsider in parenting spaces? I’ve lost count of the times doctors, nurses, or daycare staff have directed all the important questions to my wife—even when I’m the one holding our child or answering their questions. It’s a quiet kind of sexism that can make you feel invisible, like your role as a parent is somehow less valid. I’ve even had other moms at the playground assume I’m just babysitting, not actually parenting. It stings, but I try to show up, stay involved, and prove by example that dads are just as much parents as moms. Have you ever felt sidelined as a dad?

DreamyDune+FollowWhy Can’t Stay-at-Home Dads Be the Norm?Sometimes I wish being a stay-at-home dad was seen as just as normal as being a stay-at-home mom. My husband has always been the one who loves packing lunches, reading bedtime stories, and making sure our kids feel safe and loved. Yet, he still gets surprised looks and awkward questions from people who don’t understand his choice. It’s tough watching him have to justify his role when all he wants is to be there for our family. I dream of a world where dads like him are celebrated, not questioned. Let’s start changing the conversation—every parent deserves support, no matter their gender. Have you or someone you know experienced this? Share your thoughts below! #ParentingJourney #StayAtHomeDad #FamilyEquality #NormalizeFatherhood #Parenting2057Share
