As a current full time dad, I get the total opposite feeling. My wife's employer bends over backwards to accommodate her financially and with various options to continue her work how and if she pleases with seemingly no end to their support while I was pushed to return to work at 6 weeks. When I left to become full time (my wife returned to her job with a promotion and raise), it wasn't because I wanted to but because my employer doesn't recognize men as parents. So my career stopped in its tracks. Now, years later, applying for the same job as before, even with my old employer, there's no acknowledgement of my effort, no raises, no promotions, and least of all no compassion for my desire to work part time, remotely for the flexibility I need to handle a kid. Worse, they think I took a 'break'. I don't know where you're meeting these accommodating people, I just get stared at like I'm doing something wrong when I travel with my child. God forbid I want to use the change table in the woman's washroom because there's none in the men's. I just change my kid on the grass outside, trying to ignore the looks and comments like, "Moms day off?"
