Impossibly High Standards Moms Are Held To That Dads Aren’t

So long as a dad shows up sometime near when he said he would, he’s a good dad. If he’s a few minutes late, everyone just thinks, “Wow, he’s clearly so busy—it’s so nice he even made the time to pick up the kid at all!” Oh, and if he’s early—prepare the praise and accolades. Meanwhile, early is the only acceptable thing for a mother to be.
