His argument is mainly on the fact that men are now doing what women do in a marriage. Today's culture is different in which he showed that husbands are also helping with the cooking, washing, babysitting, etc which usually IS "the wife's job". He leaves his argument by saying that this generation is different. It's normal nowadays that men are helping their wife with their at home work. He is also confused about how this change or cultural shift occurred but he doesn't think it's a bad idea for men to help their wives. In fact, he's having a great time with his daughter. I think what he is trying to show the reader is that it's o.k and normal for men to also do a "woman's job".
I agree on marks Post. I agree on what you said about nowadays father helping their wives at home as a usual thing. Nowadays father help their wives daily with housework and with the children unlike fathers back then.
I think that Braiker wasn't disappointed that he was taking care of his child more than usual dads do. What affected him was that other dads weren't giving enough time to their children as much as he did. He didn't care that he didn't go to work to be with his child, taking care of her. He did not let his wife do all the work but yet he helped her by taking care of Freya.
I agree on Acer's post about Braiker not being disappointed in what he's doing. Braiker was doing a great job and I know that the dads nowadays does the same too, which is very good. I also believe that what affected him was the dads not spending enough time with their children. I agree on your last sentence too about Braiker helping his wife by watching their daughter.
I agree her post. I also felt that he enjoyed to take care his daughter and he thought his job was child raising. It is very good. Braiker an his wife helped each other.
Braiker is arguing about the modern day dads. Modern-day dads differs from the past and previous dads because they also do the moms role which is babysitting, cleaning the house, and also washing clothes. Nowadays it is normal for dads to do this but back then they are ashamed or to busy to do these. It is also confusing for Braiker to see that it's a bad idea for the husbands to help their wives. From this reading, it's obvious that Braiker is trying to tell us that it is normal for the dads to do the moms job.
Barry's comment is very interesting. Seeing how he is arguing about modern day dads and how they are also taking on the challenge of also helping the mom. Similar to mine, it is normal nowadays for husbands to do a women's job doing what she usually does at home. Great comment barry !
He told us that nowadays it become common tha men take care of their children, and he actually did it. However He felt some looks od reproach because the stereotype about child raising is not changed completely in the world. Therefore he standed between the feeling to enjoy nursing his daughter and the one to mind the looks of reproach from some people, especially from his dad. But he had strong faith for his choice to nurse his child, and he did not min the looks from previous generations. Therefore I felt that he was not confused about his feelings, and he did not feel down about some criticism.
