So, I was reading an article the other day about Mike Tyson and what a "great dad" he is. Apparently Mike has something like 8 kids. He's on his second or third wife and she was gushing to the media about what a great dad he is. He does everything, everything! EXCEPT change diapers.
Explain to me how that is being a "great dad." A great dad is someone who shares in ALL the responsibilities - even the smelliest and nastiest ones. Can't you just imagine Mike in his little, weird voice: "Ooooh, stinky poo, I can't go near that! Yuck. I think I might throw up!" This is a man who bit another man's ear off. Yeah, 'cause that wasn't disgusting! I will take a blow out that requires a full bath for me AND the kid before I'd ever put a sweaty, bloody ear in my mouth!
I began to wonder who else besides Mike doesn't change diapers. I wasn't too surprised to find this douche bragging that he doesn't change diapers. Never has, never will. Of course, you all know how I feel about him. Little Barron (I'm surprised Donald didn't name the kid Emperor) probably has a designated woman just for changing him. I bet he even has a solid gold PeePee TeePee, engraved with his initials no less.
Unfortunately, after some digging, I found that even dads I like Gavin Rossdale, for instance, won't change diapers either! He's even quoted as saying, "We've got good people" to do that sort of job. Ick. I'm so over you, Gavin. You dick.
I also found out that famous men aren't the only ones who won't change a diaper. According to a survey done by Pamper's a full 10% of men won't touch a diaper. Are you kidding me? What if you're the only one home with the baby? (Yeah, right, if you won't change a diaper, you won't let the wife leave you home alone with the kids.) You're just going to let her wallow in her own filth 'til Mommy comes home? The sad thing is, after my own informal survey of friends and family, I've decided a lot of guys lied to Pampers.
Come on! Where are the real men out there? I know I'm married to one. I know that my husband changed as many (he'll, of course, claim more) diapers as me on any day of the week. He understood that by being involved in our children's lives (even in those stinky trenches) he was bonding with our kids and setting the foundation for a strong relationship with them in the future. He also understood that we chose to have these kids TOGETHER. We're a team. We're not Fun Guy and Poop Scoop Girl. We're mom and dad and we both take turns doing the crap jobs when it comes to raising our kids.
Luckily for Mike, Donald and Gavin, they can all afford "good people" to wipe their children's asses, but the rest of us don't have that luxury. So moms need strong dads to stand up and say, "Here honey, I'll take a turn." (Trust me, guys, you want to take a turn. There's nothing sexier than a man who does laundry and changes dirty diapers. It's like foreplay for us.) Man up, dads! Change a diaper and show your kids that you want to involved in ALL aspects of their lives AND show your wives how much you love them.
