That Time RBG Told Her Children’s School To ‘Call Their Dad’

, and in so many ways, it felt like I wasn’t even in the room. This is the case with all of our children, and I’ll be honest, as an active father who is very engaged in his children’s lives, and education, I have always found it frustrating not only for myself, but also for my wife. She works too, and whenever there is an issue with our children, the school calls Mom. We never told them to do this, but for whatever reason, it’s the standard operating procedure..

She then described how her husband went buzzing down to the school to handle the situation — a role he was more than happy to fill, despite it being against the norm at the time. In her Supreme Court, RBG said, “I have had the great good fortune to share life with a partner truly extraordinary for his generation, a man who believed at age 18 when we met, and who believes today, that a woman’s work, whether at home or on the job, is as important as a man’s.

Let’s consider all the important work RBG was doing at that time, and what she went on to do — and then the fact that, because of her gender, the school was more than happy to call her about James, but they were hesitant to call her husband. That says a lot about how society then, and most likely now, views the work of women. And on the flip side, as a father, it says a lot to me about how society sees the role of a dad in the lives of his children.

My husband is listed as the primary contact, but they still call me first.

I go out the door, walk down the sidewalk, and my 5 year old screams for me and chases me. 'MOMMM I NEED A SNACK!' 🙃 Me- 'There is literally another adult in the house!'

This. 👏🏼Is. 👏🏼The. 👏🏼best. 👏🏼

As a new dad, (2 weeks in) I’ve already encountered nurses and dr being dismissive when I’m in the room as if i will be no help and almost talk directly to mom, def frustrating. I’m a co-parent not a babysitter
