Father Celebrates Minimal Childcare As Substantial Parenting Involvement
London
A 40-year-old British man has announced that he’s “very involved in fatherhood,” celebrating his parental involvement based on occasionally taking photographs with his children while his partner manages all actual childcare and household responsibilities.
“I’m a very hands-on father,” he explained while taking selfie with children. “I spend time with them. We take photos together. Very involved parenting.”
His “hands-on fatherhood” involves: taking photographs with children for social media, attending occasional children’s events when convenient, playing with children in evenings while his partner handles all actual care responsibilities.
Parenting involves comprehensive childcare including daily feeding, clothing, education support, medical care, and emotional support. He apparently interprets photo-taking as substantive parenting.
“I’m very dedicated to my children,” he noted while asking his partner to manage actual childcare issue while he posts photos. “My involvement is obvious.”
When asked whether taking photos with children represents significant parenting involvement compared to his partner’s comprehensive childcare, he responded: “I’m the photo parent. She’s the care parent. We’re complementary.”
His partner manages all childcare responsibilities while he celebrates his photographic involvement. He frequently notes: “I’m such a devoted father. My photos prove my dedication.”
Research documents that men often overestimate their parenting contribution relative to actual time and responsibility investment. He has apparently perfected this overestimation.
“I’m the most involved father,” he concluded while his partner managed actual parenting. “My numerous photos with children prove my hands-on involvement and dedication to fatherhood.”

My mate’s in the civil service. Not showing him this. Enough problems.
The exhaustion in this is the point. Not rage. Exhaustion. That’s more London than anything else.
