My husband flew alone with our 2 kids for the first time. I watched him as he was boarding. So many women were trying to help him cause seeing a man alone with 2 kids means he’s naturally overwhelmed. It was actually annoying to me.
Society treats men like babies. So many people praised that man for handling two children on a plane & in the airport like women haven’t been doing it for years.
I fly with my 2 kids, 2 car seats, a stroller, diaper bag, my carry on, thermos with warm water for bottles, all while making sure I get us through TSA, to the right gate & I also bring snacks for the crew. You know who asks me if I need help?
Women were falling over themselves to help him. Offering to hold my baby, asking my 3 year old if he wanted snacks, even the damn employee asked him if he wanted to board early.
Even men were complimenting him. A stranger yelled “Way to go buddy!” As my husband was feeding our son, with the bottle I prepared.
“Way to go buddy!” All because he’s feeding his son??
Y’all praise men for doing the bare minimum & I will never forgive y’all for it.
When you are not flying, you aren’t allowed to go past TSA. Because my husband was flying alone with 2 kids, not only did they let me escort him to the gate, but they also let me on the airplane. ON. THE. PLANE.
They let me on the plane cause he was “having a hard time” putting the babies car seat in the window. Ma’am. My husband flies all the time. He know wtfgo so wym he having a hard time? No, you just want me to come help him cause im his wife.
When I got on the plane he was shocked. I wiped everything down while he put the bags in the overhead, I locked my babies in their car seats, gave them snacks, closed the window shade, kissed them all & got off the plane. Now that I think about it.. he didn’t do it alone.
My husband said he felt uncomfortable cause so many women were asking him if he needed help. Like offering to watch my kids if he needed a break. Bitch he is on an airplane. Wtf he need a break from!!
I want to say that it is a mother’s nature to see children with their father & automatically assume he doing something wrong. I get it ladies. I do. But let these man handle their responsibilities.
I actually want to thank the women out there who offered help to my husband. I think they seen him & wished someone should/would have offered help to a woman so their instincts kicked in. It’s all about my sons, & it does take a village.
But to the bitch who offered her number to my husband in front of my son, count your days hoe.
