Fathers have a choice

I was flipping through the channels this morning when I came across one of those baby shows. I think it was called Bringing home Baby or something like that. Anyway, the part that caught my attention was where they were changing the baby (actually she was doing the changing. He was just standing and watching) She then made the comment that he "doesn't do diapers". She then goes on to say her dad didn't either and try to come up with some reasons why some dad's don't do it and how they can't handle it, blah, blah, blah. The new dad then piped in that he couldn't stand the smell and he just doesn't do them. She then says...some dads do and some dads don't.
So I sat there and thought.....Why does dad get a *choice* in it at all? Why do they get to *opt out* of the diaper changing duties? What if the mom decided she couldn't stand the smell as well? Would the child then stay in a dirty diaper for the next two years until he is potty trained or until one of them broke own and changed the poor child? Why would a mom think that changing a diaper was an opional assignment for the dad?
Anyway....it's not really sah/woh. But I thought it a good debate topic.....Why do dads get the choice to *opt out* of parenting duties? And why would moms let them do it?

But again, to get technical...the president is not elected by the majority of the people.

How was Iraq a threat to this country?

Actually NATO has taken over command in Afghanistan....they started taking over in 2003 actually.

Could you please provide some kind of background data that supports your comment that most of the world wants the US to invade Iran?

I'll ask again, why is it acceptable for America to attack/invade another country deemed a danger to us, but any other country in the world doesn't have that same right to attack America if they view us as a threat?
BTW, I'm glad to see you looked more closely at the article, and read that *most of the world* doesn't support an *invasion* on Iran.

How is Russia, most of the world?
PumpkinAngel
We are our own worst threat.
I searched the UN website and can't find any sanctions that are leveled against Iran currently.

I've read it before, in fact I believe if can receive the documents from his presidential library upon request.
