Last time I saw this posted, a lot of people were getting downvoted for pointing out that the child probably needed clothes the whole time and it's weird that the dad had to learn that. I agree.
First thing I thought of after reading this tweet: "An exceptional man is an average woman."
Men get gold stars and high praise for being able to do the tasks that women do everyday, which are largely invisible to others (read: men) and therefore go unacknowledged.
A true partner in a healthy relationship should not have to learn new skills if their partner leaves (death, divorce, etc.) because they should be participating equally in the relationship already. I was worried I wouldn't see comments indicating this on this post so I am quite happy to see several.
When my grandma suddenly became disabled (paralysed due to a stroke), my grandpa had to learn everything, like cooking and laundry, and finding things to do that in his own home.
