Whenever I see a comment like that I always wonder how it's possible that someone might actually challenge what we all know well and experienced multiple times throughout our adult lives.
Trolling or genuine question from a person that never witnessed what everyone else did?
- corobo 3y agoI'm not a parent, I live in a small town in the UK, I've literally never seen this happen. I've never even heard of it happening outside of Reddit. I figured maybe it might just be redditors coming off as creepy in general, but seeing the sentiment here too I figured I'd ask. A solo dad out with their kid would probably go home with a pocket full of phone numbers here haha Different people have different information mate. If I start trolling on HN I promise I'll make the comments more interesting than a pretty mild question :)
- bitcharmer 3y agoThanks for your reply and insight. I'm in my 40s and having lived in 4 countries on 3 continents this theme is pretty consistent across cultures. Ask your friends and family if they'd feel as confident employing a male child minder as a female one. Then ponder on the answers. In child custody cases the man stands no chance unless the mother is an addict and a criminal. Or at least that's the case everywhere I've been.
