Why “Dad Bod” Happens
Mom is too stressed to monitor them
When mom didn’t have her own kid, her husband was her kid—in fact, maybe she was more a mom to him than a partner. Anyways, the woman had a little more mental bandwidth to watch what her partner ate, and tell him not to have three cheeseburgers in one week. But new moms are far too busy and stressed to monitor and control what their partners eat. And when men are left to their own devices, they may not eat very well.
