Please don't forget that Dads are co-parents too

I don't know where else to put this so I guess I'll drop it here for anyone that might listen.Without getting into detail, today was really tough and involved a medical emergency with one of our kids while they were at school. I got there as fast as I could, before my wife, and the whole vibe was one of "mom will be here soon to decide what we need to do next" with me right in the room.I calm my child down, give the info to the paramedics, ask for details about what happened, etc. My wife gets there, we sort it out with the pediatrician and we're on our way. Later on facebook she gets messages about how awesome a mom she is, how tough a day that must have been, etc.Now, I know none of this is malicious or intentional. The people at the school are awesome and I have nothing but respect. And, I love that they support my wife... and they know her more so of course they're going to show that support compared to me who is only involved in school activities outside of the typical school day (my wife picks the up and drops them off so knows them better).But, as a dad it still sucks a lot to go through something traumatic like today and not have a single person ask how you're doing or give any encouragement at all while watching my wife get comfort and support.When I talked to her about it she didn't have anything to say except "I'm sorry...".Makes me feel like I'm doing thing wrong as a Dad. So, please, don't forget about us too. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3eCiu67
