Whiner Dad Goes on Strike

by admin on October 6th, 2006

Here at Parents Behaving Badly, we have little tolerance for parents who “go on strike” against their families. We have even less tolerance for whining husbands who go on strike against their wives. Yes, you read that correctly; thine eyes are not deceiving you. Hot Tipper Mercurial Georgia alerted us about James Wilson, a husband and father who camps out on his front lawn in protest and gives long-winded interviews to the media about how oppressed he is, because he believes - get this - that his wife Valentina is too good of a mother. Wilson is demanding - demanding! - that his kids sleep in their own bed, that they go to sleep earlier (typical bedtime is currently 11:30pm), and that they not take the children along with them on their fifth anniversary date.

Okay, okay. So James Wilson has some legitimate beefs. (Message to Valentina: Hire a sitter for your anniversary, for crying out loud.) And it sounds like there’s room for compromise on the bedtime. We did the late bedtime thing for a while, and I can tell you it was such a relief for both of us when we started getting the crew down closer to 9pm instead..

But…dude. Going on strike? Demanding that the kids never enter the bedroom? It’s one thing to negotiate more one-on-one time with the love of your life. It’s another to stomp your foot and whine like a child because your children are up in your grill. You chose fatherhood, my friend, and you’re not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination. Wait until the baby’s closer to four or five before getting pissy with your spouse, who sounds like she’s being run ragged keeping up with two kids AND a full-time job. She needs your support now - not your pansy-ass bitching.

And stop camping out on the lawn some kind of martyr for manhood. You’re making us ALL look bad. Sheesh.
