This Comment by Erika on the post The Funniest Things Strangers Said to Us After We Adopted Our Dude
Not gay, but I have a husband who is a Daddy to his children. We work schedules so that the children didn’t need day care when little. Yes, we have “Daddy Days” in our house where I’m gone all day. We also have “Mommy Days’ when he’s gone all day. It’s not babysitting or duty when it’s your child. It’s parenting. When people would comment to my husband, “looks like daddy duty/babysitting”, he’d just say something like “I’m their dad or their parent” — I hate that society thinks men can’t be real parents to their own children. Dads are important parents.

Yes, I totally agree that a caring parent at home is important, no matter what gender or orientation.
Definitely!
