尽管社会在接纳全职爸爸方面已经取得了一些进步,但是克莱感觉到,在大城市以外,包括我们所居住的小镇上的某些地方,传统观念仍然根深蒂固。
"My pat reply to 'What do you do?' is that 'Laura earns our income and I try to do most everything else, ' "he says. "Sometimes, depending on who's listening, the 'everything else' feels weak."
克莱说,“对于别人‘你现在做什么工作?’的问题,我总是熟练地回答‘劳拉(Laura)负责赚钱,而我则尽量去完成大多数剩下的事情。有的时候,取决于聆听对象,‘剩下的事情’听起来苍白无力。”
Early on, he felt isolated as most of the other parents he would meet in preschool were women. If he wanted to set up a play date with another child, he would give the mother his email address and phone number, but felt odd asking for contact details in return, as he didn't want her to think he was hitting on her.
克莱在女儿的学前班遇到的大多数家长都是妈妈们,因此在开始的时候,他感到有点孤单。如果他想帮女儿和另一个小朋友安排个一起玩耍的时间,他就得给这个小朋友的妈妈留下自己的邮箱地址和电话号码;但他觉得如果是反过来向她要联系方式就有点奇怪,因为他不想让她产生自己在向她示好的误解。
He was also careful about where play dates would occur, especially after an unpleasant experience at the house of one of our daughter's classmates. When the child's father came home unexpectedly, the mood suddenly turned tense, even though my husband was just sitting while the kids played in front of them.
