On Double Standards for Moms and Dads - Ali Wong

This quote was added by weesin
There's a crazy double standard in our society of how it takes so little to be considered a great dad. People praise my husband for coming to all of my doctor's appointments with me. Guess who else has to go to those doctor appointments: Me! I'm the star of the show. There's nothing for the camera to see if I'm not there. But he's the hero for playing Candy Crush while I get my blood drawn.

Very odd that the people around her would repeatedly praise this dad-to-be for attending doctor's appointments; perhaps even odder how much she craves the adoration of said apparently rather brainless crowd of friends and acquaintances...

Won't people also praise you for coming to his appointments though?
