@@Titan.Fox56 typical yes, but there are a lot of good bosses who understand, and they tend to be the ones who worked their way up. All the bosses I had who worked their way up from my lowly positions were always great people who understood what we went through, and the ones handed the position were always absolute dicks

we currently have a hatch playing white noise, and hatch go on the shusher setting, and a nightlight teddy bear playing a lullaby on a 30 minute timer. By far the 3 greatest inventions for us
Has it ever been explained why babies like that? My niece for the first couple of months when my sister wanted to get her to sleep she would put white noise. I mean I know it's prevalent enough that there are channels on RUclips dedicated to just putting that up specifically for babies and children
My mom fought with cancer from when I was 7 until she died when I was 12. I have 2 brothers, one 2 years younger than me, The other 3 younger than him, 5 younger than me. So 2 and 5 when everything started. It was really severe and there were 6-8 month periods when she had to stay at a treatment center over 6 hours away. My dad was working and parenting and trying to take care of her, until she came home to be in hospice. Then he was working, parenting, and grieving and he was doing it all alone. I’m incredibly lucky to have had time with both of them, many don’t. But god did I see how little acknowledgement my dad got for all of the roles he played in our lives, and the hats he juggled outside of our household to keep us together and comfortable. Single and widowed parents don’t get the recognition they deserve, especially when they’re men. Even from extended family. It pisses me off quite a lot.
@ I would agree that no single parent is recognized enough for the effort they put into taking care of their children, and the sacrifices they make for them on a day to day basis. I don’t, however, think it is a black and white issue. There is a lot of nuance when you look at a lot of the stuff going on all at once. In family court, during divorce, mom’s almost always get custody, and along with that, many end up getting alimony, and they have custody fully or for large periods it is often suggested to keep the kids in the current home with the mom. When it comes to the dad and he is the breadwinner within the home, while the mother is either on leave or stopped pursuing education or work to focus on the kids, When tbey make kt to court and the dad maintains custody, he often times is still the one who has to pay out. So reallly realllly nuanced situation. But the dads rarely receive anything from their ex wives camp, even if they both work and the woman can afford to pay some form of alimony or child support to the man in the situation who is now basically their only parental figure. I thonm thos is one of the few areas where men a can end up becoming pretty marginalized.
Not until single mothers get the respect that they deserve until then they can get in line behind often disrespected, and underappreciated single mothers
Not a father but just a big age gap with my siblings. When I was 19 my sister was 6 I got the cops called on me because I was chasing her around playing tag got put in handcuffs and treated like a disgusting pig and the lady who called them on me was lying that I was touching her. Wouldn't listen to me until my sister started crying hitting the cop she got shot down and arrested for assault on a police officer and is in prison for life very sad
@Never_stop_twinkling that's obv fake, don't believe everything you see on the internet, a 6 year old cant get life in prison, especially for Assault on a police officer
This has me crying. I’m a single dad who started raising my daughter alone straight from prison in 2012. I I was denied everything a single mother would get.
Welcome home brother I’ve been in your shoes it’s no blueprint to being a parent. Keep up the great work you’re doing and continue being a positive role model for your child. It gets a little easier when they get older.
@@HSeaberry the rate single fathers get denied resources are significantly higher than the rate single mothers get denied. The system is built to keep poor families fatherless by granting resources more favorably to single mothers. At the current moment being a poor single mother is significantly easier than being a poor dual parent household. As a single mother you're granted wic and food stamps as well as section 8 housing assistance within 4-6 months, there are income limits but the income is only based on the household total income, if both parents work they will be denied most resources. What you are saying is objectively wrong and since I am unable to post links on yt I would suggest doing further research into this topic instead of vomiting your opinions
Prime example of how the patriarchal system is working against this poor guy. Cause he is a guy apparently he is getting ignored cause "guys dont do mother stuff". I hope you get the help needed.
My mother straight up abandoned us with out father (Yes Us, 4 girls, i was the oldest with barely 10 years old and the two youngest were toddlers), my father took the matter to his own hands, raised all of us, taught us about periods when time came, spent time with us, went to ever mother's day events at school, and only allow himself to meet a love after the youngest were 14, old enough to speak if any harm happened to her. I love him with all my forces, and this movie made me cry, like a baby, because reminded me of him.
My grandmother passed away when Twin aunts were 6, I think. My mom was 2 and the youngest wasn't even a month old! The baby went to live with my grandmother's sister. She grew up rich. My grandfather raised my oldest two aunts and my mother by himself. They struggled a LOT. Mostly dealing with homelessness. In the end ALL of my aunts and my mother are really close with each other and my grandfather. I have the best grandfather ever, and I really miss him. He passed 8 years ago.
My husband went with me to every single baby class and learned right alongside me while I was pregnant with our first, he went with me to every single dr appointment with all 3 pregnancies (give or take a few times he couldn’t because of work), and stayed with me through each labor and delivery and hospital stay, and when our second child had to stay in the NICU for 2 weeks he let me come rest at home while he went EVERY NIGHT to the hospital and stayed up to feed her himself every 2 hours like clockwork. Men who want to be fathers will do everything they can to be there for their children, I got lucky.❤
I’m a single father and this movie broke me down. It was hard ( it still is ) but my daughter is my life. I’d do anything for my kid. Movie. Fatherhood
I'm a single dad for an autistic child in the Caribbean where there is limited resources and even tho it different.. I felt this clip and I my heart goes out to you brother.
@@npjpatrick229I bet you’re a great parent! My son is autistic as well and of course that comes with other individual needs so I know what it takes and I struggle with it, even though I still have his dad to coparent. Keep up the great job you’re surely doing.
The more you spend time with your child only realize their value. I’m a daughter with mom and dad but my dad never favor the daughter but the son. I hope I get a fatherly love from my own father maybe I’m too selfish to ask for it :(
My sister died when her kids were all so little (not school age yet). Their dad needed so much help. I like seeing "new parents" instead of moms, because the guys need help too.
@@sammieh9695definitely most of the parenting resources out there are aimed towards mothers cuz it’s socially expected for mothers to care for the children. But single father need just as much help if not more because more than likely they weren’t raised with the knowledge of fully raising a child n managing a household in the same way
yeah, society trains girls to become mothers from theyre little. not in an incidious way, but we get a lot of "training" for free on a cultural level. my husband didnt know babies cant drink water. we dont have kids yet 😂 so im just happy he figured out he knows nothing and needs to check everything before he gave our future newborn a bottle of water 👀
I am all for pushing fatherhood as much as motherhood. We need resources for both. Sure socially we expect women but in the long run we have hurt ourselves when we don't expect men to be fathers anymore or provide the support when they need it too.
@@blah914 that is B.S New mothers are just as clueless as men are, but we take the initiative to learn and take classes, read books and seek support. These womens support groups are created BY women, There are no male support groups because they dont create them.
He makes a valid point. I know new Mom struggle, but for the Dad’s that are out here by themselves for whatever reason they deserve support too. Any parent that that’s trying to do whatever they can for their kid deserve support.
My dad got full custody of my brother and I in 1986. Couple years later, the school guidance counselor said I need to be raised by my mother. To be fair to my mom, she was a very sick woman. I would not have had a chance. Always grateful for my dad who was an OG in his own rights.
I think dads need an extra bit of support at first. We often take for granted just how much is ingrained in us. It's like, ever met a guy who has mo idea how to change a tyre? It's one of those things that's kinda expected. But I'd never expect a man to be able to decipher the difference in newborns crystal.
@@loris4276mothers tend to get support over fathers. Case in point, the video clip here. Automatically said "for new mothers only" even though the sign said parents.
i loooove when someone asks for parenting advice, they take it, and come back and say it worked for them , ugh such a great feeling to help out someone else with things you've gone through
Even if it was limited to moms (on the sign), having a dad come in and ask for help if a reason to let him in. That doesn’t happen often and should be appreciated when it does.
Disagree--people shouldn't feel obligated to break their safe spaces, even if it is with good intention. I get where you're coming from though. I'm just tired of men expecting to be coddled and a round of applause over the bare minimum. Some spaces are meant to be left alone, and that should be respected with reasonable discretion.
I hate it when fathers are excluded from parent groups. I always make it a point to make them feel included ands ended up with lots of friend families like ours where husbands share our responsibilities.
Men excluding women for millennia want to make it all about them now that they are finally doing the bare minimum so they feel comforted is giving me all kinds of rage. Should I be the bigger person, be welcoming and supportive like society expects us to be, mindful, demure? Yea. But since women carried, gave birth to and breastfeed that baby, knowing they still do the lion’s share and basically suffer physical and hormonal changes for two years after, their needs are unique.
That group of women would have been SO happy to see a father trying that conversation would have been completely different in real life they would have taken him in in a heartbeat.
When my wife had a miscarriage I was devistated. I was sitting beside her bed crying as nurses comforted her, told her about resources for women, told her about support groups for women, and acted as if I didn’t exist. I understand that she is the one who experienced it not only emotionally but also physically. But it was tough being given no options for help and no care at all.
You also experienced it emotionally you are just as entitled to feel bad about the loss of your child as she is. The lack of resources and support for fathers is one of the big inequalities in how men are treated. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
We lost our baby, she was 5 weeks old. I as the mother got recommended 15 different therapists, support groups, meetings, everything. My husband was asked twice about how he's doing. It was his child too.
@@sylthrina165we had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My had three kids with her ex husband, this was going to be my first. My wife and my parents were the only ones who worried about how much I was hurting inside.
I am an ICU RN. It is for stories like you that I changed the way I handle loss with my patients as well. I had a patient who lost her baby due to a complication at 32 weeks .... an almost full term baby; absolutely devastating. She was intubated, sedated... didn't feel a thing while we were keeping her alive. Doctors, anesthesia, nurses running around and there, the husband. He looked absolutely traumatized. The look in his eyes was absolutely soul shattering. He lost his child and was seeing his wife fighting for her life right before his eyes. I took the time among the crowd to ignore everything for a second (others were helping mom) and I sat in front of him, held his hand, reassured him, and gave him my condolences. This man instantly cried. I know that was healing for him and the begining of a.... probably healthier grieving journey. Good news is... momma survived safe and sound. I requested to be her nurse instead of a male one (as originally assigned).. The husband endured enough trauma to also witness another man assessing his womb and vulva for bleeding. As a woman, I felt more comfortable and competent to deal with the issue. People like you make small changes. Tell your story. Some of us can actually learn from them. You matter ❤
@@kamilamuza9100 Thank you for what you and all nurses do. We have a lot of doctors and nurses in both mine and my wife's families, and it gives us such a source of relief knowing that we can trust people like you with our care when we are most venerable.
So who did you get pregnant by if it was so hard and why have another kid? I am not even trying to be mean, but I have never understood as a woman single mothers who KEEP having kids, but have no help. Where did you have time to get pregnant? Wtf?
I know with my mom she was a widow, so her struggle was like Kevin's. When your spouse dies suddenly it seems worse for a young parent, But I feel like the commenter is a troll looking for rage bait because the math...@@Isthisjoebiden
It’s good to know that groups are changing to accommodate the single parent whoever is raising the child(s). I was in a group we had single fathers plus adopted parents and grandparents who parents abandoned their children.
My wife spent 3 days in labor. She was waited on hand and foot like she deserved. I was with her the entire time and I did everything and more to keep her calm and comfortable. She had an emergency c section and our daughter was pretty small as she came a few weeks early. Even after she was born I remained the solid rock I needed to be to keep my wife calm and happy. On our last night there while trying to get some sleep I cracked and a week’s worth of panic and anxiety and worry finally came out. Not a single person asked me if I was okay or anything. She was the star, I get that and that’s how it should be, but too many fathers are left on the wayside and forgotten. I could have lost either or both of the most important people in my life and I would have been absolutely powerless to stop it, yet I was little more than room decor.
My best friend passed away when her baby was 8 weeks old. Every year till the year he remarried I wished him a happy Mothers day because he was pulling double duty. I did have the joy of helping him raise the baby and answering questions when he had them. We are still in contact 14 years later even though they moved out of state.
My aunt passed when her youngest was 4 months old. My uncle raised 4 children ranging from 7 yrs to 4 months old. He never remarried. I don't know of him even dating after. There are not many men that would have managed that on their own.
My mum and dad once lost their shit on a mother care worker (mother care was a shop in the uk for baby stuff and parent and baby stuff) the store had these amazing rooms for feeding and changing babies. Areas for breast feeding etc. a dad was in the store and went to take his newborn in the room for a feed and change when the worker told him he couldn’t go in there. She told him to use the toilets nearby. My parents lost it, went full Karen on this woman and asked her if she’d eat off a toilet seat and that the room was for parents and babies not just women. I was only a kid myself at the time but mum always says this father looked so exhausted, he was probably a single dad. I have never been prouder of my parents for standing up for a dad like that.
My mother’s group has been amazing from the start. I introduced my husband and explained he was primary carer and full time dad and I would be working. They have been amazing and have learnt from him as much as they have from the rest of the group
Single dads need help too. They need groups too. They need support too. And I love how he, respectfully, called her out lol "You're lying." This was such a touching movie.
I stood outside of the new parent group we were told about at the hospital and cried when they told us it was only for mothers. They all took it the wrong way, trying to comfort me because they thought I was just having a hard time separating from dad, but I was crying because I knew he was struggling and needed support just has much as I did.
It’s crazy how he comes for help and has a genuine concern and the women in there having their children, knowing the struggle try to turn him away is pure evil
Love this scene! I am the youngest of 3 who was raised by my dad. It just helps put into perspective the struggles he went through to provide/raise us even if he didn’t let it show. Respect and love to ALL single parents making it on their own💕
I have two male teachers that went on paternity leave this year to take care of their babies. One of them doing it while his wife went back to work because her maternity leave was over. He came and visited one day and it was just so nice to see the love and care he had for gis daughter
When my daughter's mom and I separated the parenting agreement in the county that we lived in required that I attend a parenting class... The class was literally just a bunch of men being berated. I was so excited to be a father and it took me a while to get back to that excitement after they beat that s*** right out of us trying to tell us we were all bad dads. No. We did what was right for our daughter by recognizing that it wasn't going to work with the two of us and we would be better off separated... That was 10 years ago and we have probably one of the best co-parenting relationships you can ever find. I hope all the other dads from that group found the same kind of happiness.
I like that they were willing to help after he said he had nobody else to ask, I mean it sucks that it took that long but at least they didn't keep trying to push him out and gave actual advice.
This is really wholesome and puts just the right amount of humor into this serious topic about fathers not being treated equally for the role of parent
Me and my wife raising our son and having a daughter on the way has really made me understand and appreciate my mom alot more. Single mother raised and I definitely made it hard for her. Love you madre
My sister and I were raised by a single dad until we were 7 years old. At that time, he worked multiple jobs and started a business that he has been running for 20 years now. I'm thankful for the sacrifices he had to make and the help my grandmother provided to raise us.
This is actually a really good movie, the best Kevin Hart movie by far, the only serious role of his that I have seen and he plays it amazingly, in my opinion, the whole movie is just really good and emotional, it actually made me cry the first time I watched it, really good, I really recommend the watch.
I'm my dad's first child, and when he gained custody of me at the age of 4, he often reached out to my aunts and grandparents on my mom's side, even my babysitter and neighbors for some guidance. Being a parent is a big deal, and single fathers don't get the respect they do for trying and dropping their ego to ask for help
Something that worked for me when j was a baby was loud music. Which makes sense considering im basically deaf now because of how loud i listen to music. My dad said i hardley ever cried but when i did he'd play some ac/dc or led zeplin and i'd calm down.
One, Kevin Hart did an amazing job playing this role and I don’t even know the title of the movie. Only saw this clip, but he played the role of a struggling single dad trying to make it work for his baby so fucking well. Two, single dads are a thing and they shouldn’t be looked down on or excluded. They need just as much help as single mothers do and should be given just as much slack because they’re doing a two person job all by themselves. Single parents who come out of those years with a child who is a good person and a functioning member of society are real life superheroes and deserve some slack wherever they can get it.
Thank you. I had my oldest when I was 18, graduated 3 months later, college + work + toddler (tough and thought it would kill me- that was appetizers for what was to come!) I can’t really remember how we made it - just kept going forward every day. Lots of rough times, even with the support and help of friends and fam and absolute rockstars in the childcare world and suddenly I have a teenage boy & when you asked what does he want to do and be when he gets into the world- “idc about what work I do, I’ll do whatever I need to career wise, I just want to build a family.i want to be a dad, I want a wife and kids and a home and pets and then property up north where we can go and play with the big boy toys I’ll have one day” (most of this is things we didnt have when he was growing) he’s 27 now and if you asked me about him last year I cried thinking about how proud I was of that guy, I don’t have the words. Ask me today- I have even more love and pride in him than ever and at the same time I my heart absolutely breaks for him April 2024 his whole world shifted, his wife became a drug addict (we think? Kinda a mystery at this point) and her choices = him making the hardest choice he is now a single father raising my 2y/o grandson. He calls more now, asking questions or advice or the “mom, he’s sick and can’t go to daycare can you take him” I wish I could solve all of his day to day issues but I have to tell him - day to day- please don’t look at long term down the road, those problems will change a bunch before you get there. Solve today’s and tomorrows and keep going forward. I am so proud of him, still can’t watch this movie though!
In South Africa in most places both male and female bathrooms have changing tables. If it's an older building then there is no changing table in either bathroom but most places have it. Also in malls and other recreational places there's not only changing tables in the male restroom too, there's a family bathroom that is for people with young children so a dad can enter with his young daughter instead of sending her into the ladies restroom by herself. There's a changing table there too. The family restroom is usually only 2 stalls but it's quite spacious so you can take a pram in there. You can lock it so if you are say a mom with a newborn and toddler, you have peace of mind knowing your kids are safe in there with you while you use the toilet. It's great. I really appreciated it when I was a new mom.
@@lunariousmoon apparently so since op says the male bathrooms don't even have changing tables in their country. Come to think of it even China and Korea have changing tables in male bathrooms, I asked my husband because he worked in both countries.
My husband was a single dad until I met him when our girls were in kindergarten. He raised his baby girl by himself from the time she was 6 months old.❤ She's 16 today.🎉
I wish there was a space for JUST father's, and JUST mothers. When me and my husband lost our first I grieved doubly hard for him the most. We both grew up without dads and while I had my mom and his mom, he kinda felt solo'd out and like he had no male influence/ confidant to turn to to guide him thru "father's grief". It was absolutely heartbreaking and, dealing with the loss myself, I was fumbling and had no idea what to do to help him process. We had barely been married for 1 year, and that time period damn near broke or marriage. 😔
this. just moms, just dads, and mixed groups. women barely have any spaces where men dont feel they have the right to barge thru the door and make it all about them, ruining their oportunities to talk about the things that concern them. birth, and being pestered for sex while you still have an open wound the size of a dinnerplace inside ur body is an exclusively female experience. and most single fathers are widows, so they also need help w other shit.
I loved this movie, and though I'm not a father, I lost my mom at 10, and his reaction to the 'news' he gets at the hospital hit home a little.....if you've seen the movie you'll know what I mean.
I really appreciate the fact they show the misandry of society against dads in this movie. A lot of men are criticised because they are tired too and they "don't deserve attention" compared to the mother. Even if they don't carried the baby for 9 month doesn't mean they can't be tired, anxious, etc.
That is true but it is all societal. Women are more expected to be super moms and deal with the baby sh*t much more then men. Men are congratulated for just being there and doing bare minimum for their kids. Both are unrightly judged. Is it right? No. But there should be a moms only groups for those who dealt with difficulty of pregnancy and childcare after. Dads should have their own too. Then there could be a PARENTS space group too!
@@TheOMGRamenyou mean the mother being a loving person. Making sure her children know they should be good people and raise them to be good people while the father shows you need to be strong for you family. Providing financial stability and taking care of them making sure they have what the need and want. Making sure they have presents under the tree or clothes for school. Father works for the money to provide while the mother is the heart of the home.
@@TheOMGRamenThe reason it’s like that is because only recently has it been realized that baby’s need time with their dad’s too. Dad’s didn’t get to just stop going to work to take care of a baby. If you are the one going to work for the majority of the day when you come home generally you will have done less for the baby than the mom has.
My dad raised me and my 2 siblings alone for 7 years and he got a lot of dirty looks and criticism for just being a single dad vs my mom who people gushed over and would often say things like “aw you poor dear being a single mother is hard” but I never heard anyone compliment or even feel bad for my dad for taking care of all 3 of us alone and on one paycheck. It still makes me upset to see things like this all single parents are just trying to fulfill both parental roles and no one can do that easily.
This type of thinking contributes to the idea that mothers are defaulted as better parents, while fathers are only expected to do the bare minimum like working and making money! If my fiance ever became a single dad, god forbid, I wouldn’t worry about him doing a good job, but I can’t say most men would be good single fathers if they mom left or died.
That first scene hit home for me. When our daughter was born both my now wife and I struggled with post natal depression, and for me it was worse as there was plenty of support networks for new mothers, but stuff all for fathers. It took me the best part of a year to find some dad support groups
I feel you, brother.... my baby's mama is a lazy ass b word.... I work overnight shifts and come home, wake the kids up, make breakfast, brush my daughters hair, drop them off at school, come back home clean the house, find something to do until school is over at 3 cause I know once I fall asleep nobody is gonna pick them up ( especially her). Ever since they started school at 2017 and honestly I have enjoyed ever second of it. And I have become an expert at braiding...😂😂😂
I agree with other commenter. It's time she hit rock bottom to see how far she has fallen. Sometimes that is all that is needed. If she truly has no joy or love for you or your children she needs to leave the home. The kids see this and while they may not say it, it hurts them.
Please don't tell me the reason you don't want to divorce her was because of her family somehow (or is it yours)?? Or do you still need her for the segs?? Or do you still love her?? Or is it the law you worried about (like the mother will get the kids and you're the one paying child support despite all your effort)?? I always told any woman who complained about her husband being lazy as* (or even abusive) to just Divorce. This will be no different. I guess it's your choice in the end. But just remember, children see, children do. Meaning if they see their mother being lazy as*, there's a chance they will copy her behavior somehow, and it could affect how they will find their partner in the future...
@aaaaann9600 the "segs"? What is that? Oh, are you trying to say sex? Why the heck wouldn't you just write it? This is comment section...its not like you are a content creator that has to worry about having your video demonetized...🙄
I am so proud of my brother getting sole custoy at 18. The mother isn't a bad person but was neglectful from drug use. She's clean now. He had to be a single father as a teen and I'm so proud of him for doing what was needed for his child.
I just want the dad to know that most parent groups are willing to take dads and happily so. Mommy groups have been known to let single fathers in or even when dad is the main caregiver. It’s really not about gender for the most part anymore. I think moms are just happy to see an active father in general. Not just one who’s there 🙃
@@johnjames3504 I’m sorry that was your experience :( but that doesn’t mean it’s a lie. Men realize they can do their own groups right? Like if yall really wanted to you would. Idk why if your area doesn’t have a group for specifically fathers, you wouldn’t just make your own? lol like nothing is stopping you! But to say mommy groups refuse men that’s just not always true. On social media I understand wanting only women in the parenting groups, but women seeing an active father doing more than just the bare minimum? That’s gold in most women’s eyes 🤷🏼♀️

Our dryer was in the kitchen. It was a very soothing sound. My parents separated when my sister and I were young - 8 and 6. I was too young to go to school, according to my mother, so my father was a self-employed farmer/logger who took me around with him every day for that year. My mother worked nights as a nurse. The very best year. I learned so much about repairing machinery and a lot about listening.
Me and my mom loved this movie so much. I don’t have kids and kinda on the fence about having them but this movie made me appreciate both parents and single parents a whole lot more
My dad worked so hard for me. He had a restraining order from my mom but she went to jail and I went back into my dad’s custody when the restraining order expired. He filed for bankruptcy, spent afternoons cutting trees, and selling his most cherished items. I would be no where near as successful as I am today without him and the lessons he taught me. Saying that as a 15 year old.
I can understand women wanting a group of only women to talk about certain things they don't want to talk about in front of men, but it is NOT ok to treat fathers less of a parent.
As eveyone is saying dads need help too weather or not rheir wife/girlfriend/mother of their kids has passed or left them. I feel the reason many men feel disconnected from their families and like they have to be bad cop is because they miss out of the stuff like this. They miss out on community and advice, they miss out on the lack of judgment when talking about mental health or the struggles theyve had. They miss out on that bonding with their child and bonding with others that have gone through the same or something similar that can help.
The hardest thing about raising a child as a single father was not having a support group and always being pushed in the wrong direction as a man and not a parent
i absolutely love that kevin hart portrayed matt, my mom grew up with the the real liz so i grew up around so many stories of liz and her childhood. we also have so many copies of the original book fatherhood is based on “two kisses for maddy”. when i first found out that two kisses for maddy, and liz and matt’s story was being turned into a movie i was so excited me and my family had a family movie night and watched it the day it came out, i’ve never seen my mom have so many mixed emotions and feelings before but i highly recommend this movie and looking into reading the book too (matt is a hilarious writer)
...ok, cool... Baby sitters... Is boss man going to front that cost? Is he going to be held responsible for anything that could happen while he is working. Smh I hate people like that.
It's something that women can feel sometimes after having a baby. It something that can have them slip into postpartum depression. Remember that newborns can be a handful, and the parent could be low on sleep, exhausted, or just mentally drained. It doesn't mean she actually wants harm to come to her husband but just that he is engaging with her when she just is too overwhelmed.

I’d be annoyed as hell too if my husband wanted se/x not even a few months after giving birth. like I just went through the hell that’s childbirth after suffering for nine months, and your first thought is, can we finally have se/x again? some women are fine with it, some just want help raising the baby and not being treated like ‘the wife’ that owes anyone anything
Honestly, even if it were a mom group, to have a dad come in and talk so freely about needing help and wanting help, should make every mom heart understand that he should be included. If they need a place to talk, like what the conversation was before he entered, I get it, you might not want to talk about that in front of another guy. But then they could say he could come every other meeting, and when he isn't there, they can talk more intimate stuff🙈 Only reason for the rant, is because I'm sure this happens in real life as well. Single dad does have a lot of bad reputation and not a lot of accomidation, and things around that might help them.
I love how as soon as the lady compliments kevins work he pretends he wasn't going to fire his ass.
That's typical bosses no matter how much money you bring in to their asses you do ONE thing wrong they act like it's gonna ruin their business lol
@@Titan.Fox56 typical yes, but there are a lot of good bosses who understand, and they tend to be the ones who worked their way up. All the bosses I had who worked their way up from my lowly positions were always great people who understood what we went through, and the ones handed the position were always absolute dicks
She just saved his job!
That’s why you run your own business so you don’t have to deal with the pieces OS in any corporate setting, you control your own destiny, not someone else

The excitement when the white noise worked is SO REAL lol ... I felt that
we currently have a hatch playing white noise, and hatch go on the shusher setting, and a nightlight teddy bear playing a lullaby on a 30 minute timer. By far the 3 greatest inventions for us
My kids are 8,9,n 10.. I put on rain sounds n they fall asleep in 5 minutes lol
Wish I knew about white noise before
Today my wee sister would not stop crying… I started playing a RUclips video of someone hoovering and it worked a MIRACLE
Has it ever been explained why babies like that? My niece for the first couple of months when my sister wanted to get her to sleep she would put white noise. I mean I know it's prevalent enough that there are channels on RUclips dedicated to just putting that up specifically for babies and children
@@Speedyeddie7hatch is the best!! Such a lifesaver
single dads need more appreciation, i would be nowhere without my dad and i know he had a hell of a hard time trying to raise me
Single moms don’t even get appreciation. They just get insulted and torn apart don’t act like they are loved
My mom fought with cancer from when I was 7 until she died when I was 12. I have 2 brothers, one 2 years younger than me, The other 3 younger than him, 5 younger than me. So 2 and 5 when everything started. It was really severe and there were 6-8 month periods when she had to stay at a treatment center over 6 hours away. My dad was working and parenting and trying to take care of her, until she came home to be in hospice. Then he was working, parenting, and grieving and he was doing it all alone. I’m incredibly lucky to have had time with both of them, many don’t. But god did I see how little acknowledgement my dad got for all of the roles he played in our lives, and the hats he juggled outside of our household to keep us together and comfortable. Single and widowed parents don’t get the recognition they deserve, especially when they’re men. Even from extended family. It pisses me off quite a lot.
single moms aren't appreciated either
@ I would agree that no single parent is recognized enough for the effort they put into taking care of their children, and the sacrifices they make for them on a day to day basis. I don’t, however, think it is a black and white issue. There is a lot of nuance when you look at a lot of the stuff going on all at once.
In family court, during divorce, mom’s almost always get custody, and along with that, many end up getting alimony, and they have custody fully or for large periods it is often suggested to keep the kids in the current home with the mom.
When it comes to the dad and he is the breadwinner within the home, while the mother is either on leave or stopped pursuing education or work to focus on the kids, When tbey make kt to court and the dad maintains custody, he often times is still the one who has to pay out. So reallly realllly nuanced situation. But the dads rarely receive anything from their ex wives camp, even if they both work and the woman can afford to pay some form of alimony or child support to the man in the situation who is now basically their only parental figure. I thonm thos is one of the few areas where men a
can end up becoming pretty marginalized.

Single dads also need to be acknowledged in this society
Not until single mothers get the respect that they deserve until then they can get in line behind often disrespected, and underappreciated single mothers
Not a father but just a big age gap with my siblings. When I was 19 my sister was 6 I got the cops called on me because I was chasing her around playing tag got put in handcuffs and treated like a disgusting pig and the lady who called them on me was lying that I was touching her. Wouldn't listen to me until my sister started crying hitting the cop she got shot down and arrested for assault on a police officer and is in prison for life very sad
@Mdsmmmmmis that real?! Because that’s absolutely absurd! That officer and the lady need to be put behind bars, that’s insanity!
@Never_stop_twinkling that's obv fake, don't believe everything you see on the internet, a 6 year old cant get life in prison, especially for Assault on a police officer
@Never_stop_twinkling nah it's bs lmao
This has me crying. I’m a single dad who started raising my daughter alone straight from prison in 2012. I I was denied everything a single mother would get.
Welcome home brother I’ve been in your shoes it’s no blueprint to being a parent. Keep up the great work you’re doing and continue being a positive role model for your child. It gets a little easier when they get older.
so shes about to turn 13?
Single mothers are also getting denied resources. Women are not your enemy. The people hoarding resources are.
@@HSeaberry the rate single fathers get denied resources are significantly higher than the rate single mothers get denied.
The system is built to keep poor families fatherless by granting resources more favorably to single mothers.
At the current moment being a poor single mother is significantly easier than being a poor dual parent household.
As a single mother you're granted wic and food stamps as well as section 8 housing assistance within 4-6 months, there are income limits but the income is only based on the household total income, if both parents work they will be denied most resources.
What you are saying is objectively wrong and since I am unable to post links on yt I would suggest doing further research into this topic instead of vomiting your opinions
Prime example of how the patriarchal system is working against this poor guy. Cause he is a guy apparently he is getting ignored cause "guys dont do mother stuff". I hope you get the help needed.
My mother straight up abandoned us with out father (Yes Us, 4 girls, i was the oldest with barely 10 years old and the two youngest were toddlers), my father took the matter to his own hands, raised all of us, taught us about periods when time came, spent time with us, went to ever mother's day events at school, and only allow himself to meet a love after the youngest were 14, old enough to speak if any harm happened to her. I love him with all my forces, and this movie made me cry, like a baby, because reminded me of him.
That's a great dad❤ in glad you had him to show you what a good man looks like!
I am so sorry you had to go through this. Your father sounds amazing.
My father stepped up the same ❤ had no idea what he was doing sometimes but he cared enough to try.
I wonder what was going on with her. What was her story..
My grandmother passed away when Twin aunts were 6, I think. My mom was 2 and the youngest wasn't even a month old! The baby went to live with my grandmother's sister. She grew up rich. My grandfather raised my oldest two aunts and my mother by himself. They struggled a LOT. Mostly dealing with homelessness. In the end ALL of my aunts and my mother are really close with each other and my grandfather. I have the best grandfather ever, and I really miss him. He passed 8 years ago.
My husband went with me to every single baby class and learned right alongside me while I was pregnant with our first, he went with me to every single dr appointment with all 3 pregnancies (give or take a few times he couldn’t because of work), and stayed with me through each labor and delivery and hospital stay, and when our second child had to stay in the NICU for 2 weeks he let me come rest at home while he went EVERY NIGHT to the hospital and stayed up to feed her himself every 2 hours like clockwork. Men who want to be fathers will do everything they can to be there for their children, I got lucky.❤
So kind of you to allow acces to HIS OWN CHILDREN because he coddled, served and slaved over you. What a nice person you are.
That's so sweet!

The more you spend time with your child only realize their value. I’m a daughter with mom and dad but my dad never favor the daughter but the son. I hope I get a fatherly love from my own father maybe I’m too selfish to ask for it
:(
My sister died when her kids were all so little (not school age yet). Their dad needed so much help. I like seeing "new parents" instead of moms, because the guys need help too.
The guys often need more help because moms have so many resources available and it's expected of us
@@sammieh9695definitely most of the parenting resources out there are aimed towards mothers cuz it’s socially expected for mothers to care for the children. But single father need just as much help if not more because more than likely they weren’t raised with the knowledge of fully raising a child n managing a household in the same way
yeah, society trains girls to become mothers from theyre little. not in an incidious way, but we get a lot of "training" for free on a cultural level. my husband didnt know babies cant drink water. we dont have kids yet 😂 so im just happy he figured out he knows nothing and needs to check everything before he gave our future newborn a bottle of water 👀
I am all for pushing fatherhood as much as motherhood. We need resources for both. Sure socially we expect women but in the long run we have hurt ourselves when we don't expect men to be fathers anymore or provide the support when they need it too.
@@blah914 that is B.S
New mothers are just as clueless as men are, but we take the initiative to learn and take classes, read books and seek support.
These womens support groups are created BY women,
There are no male support groups because they dont create them.
He makes a valid point. I know new Mom struggle, but for the Dad’s that are out here by themselves for whatever reason they deserve support too. Any parent that that’s trying to do whatever they can for their kid deserve support.
My dad got full custody of my brother and I in 1986. Couple years later, the school guidance counselor said I need to be raised by my mother. To be fair to my mom, she was a very sick woman. I would not have had a chance. Always grateful for my dad who was an OG in his own rights.
You know i love how everyone thinks moms dont need help raising a child, but a dad does? Moms aren't always the better parent.
@@loris4276doesnt always but most, yeah you right it determined by their will and nurture their receive. Always support single parents
I think dads need an extra bit of support at first.
We often take for granted just how much is ingrained in us.
It's like, ever met a guy who has mo idea how to change a tyre? It's one of those things that's kinda expected. But I'd never expect a man to be able to decipher the difference in newborns crystal.
@@loris4276mothers tend to get support over fathers. Case in point, the video clip here. Automatically said "for new mothers only" even though the sign said parents.
i loooove when someone asks for parenting advice, they take it, and come back and say it worked for them
, ugh such a great feeling to help out someone else with things you've gone through
Even if it was limited to moms (on the sign), having a dad come in and ask for help if a reason to let him in. That doesn’t happen often and should be appreciated when it does.
Disagree--people shouldn't feel obligated to break their safe spaces, even if it is with good intention. I get where you're coming from though. I'm just tired of men expecting to be coddled and a round of applause over the bare minimum. Some spaces are meant to be left alone, and that should be respected with reasonable discretion.
@@chaoticangelcore618true but in the situation that a baby needs help I imagine there oughta be some leeway right?
@@chaoticangelcore618its a parent group tho not mother group
Thats women for u
@@chaoticangelcore618 disagree, babies come before safe spaces to me.
I hate it when fathers are excluded from parent groups. I always make it a point to make them feel included ands ended up with lots of friend families like ours where husbands share our responsibilities.
There should be a place for fathers, but moms need a place without men, especially if they just gave birth.
Sometimes women don't want men around them while they're talking about personal things related to their post pregnancy body
I love how the push for equality always works in mysterious ways 😂. There's always an excuse.
Men excluding women for millennia want to make it all about them now that they are finally doing the bare minimum so they feel comforted is giving me all kinds of rage. Should I be the bigger person, be welcoming and supportive like society expects us to be, mindful, demure? Yea. But since women carried, gave birth to and breastfeed that baby, knowing they still do the lion’s share and basically suffer physical and hormonal changes for two years after, their needs are unique.
@@SQUELCH-zj7ilso who’s teaching them then??
That group of women would have been SO happy to see a father trying that conversation would have been completely different in real life they would have taken him in in a heartbeat.
No they wouldn’t have. Stop coping.
This is some unrealistic head canon you have going on
Men very commonly get shunned out of those groups tf you on about?
Single dads show up at parenting journey and stuff all the time in my community @@warbler1984
Ideally, yes. However, sadly, men are commonly shunned and shut down when they need help from women or to get away from one

When my wife had a miscarriage I was devistated. I was sitting beside her bed crying as nurses comforted her, told her about resources for women, told her about support groups for women, and acted as if I didn’t exist. I understand that she is the one who experienced it not only emotionally but also physically. But it was tough being given no options for help and no care at all.
You also experienced it emotionally you are just as entitled to feel bad about the loss of your child as she is.
The lack of resources and support for fathers is one of the big inequalities in how men are treated. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
We lost our baby, she was 5 weeks old. I as the mother got recommended 15 different therapists, support groups, meetings, everything. My husband was asked twice about how he's doing. It was his child too.
@@sylthrina165we had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My had three kids with her ex husband, this was going to be my first. My wife and my parents were the only ones who worried about how much I was hurting inside.
I am an ICU RN. It is for stories like you that I changed the way I handle loss with my patients as well. I had a patient who lost her baby due to a complication at 32 weeks .... an almost full term baby; absolutely devastating. She was intubated, sedated... didn't feel a thing while we were keeping her alive. Doctors, anesthesia, nurses running around and there, the husband. He looked absolutely traumatized. The look in his eyes was absolutely soul shattering. He lost his child and was seeing his wife fighting for her life right before his eyes. I took the time among the crowd to ignore everything for a second (others were helping mom) and I sat in front of him, held his hand, reassured him, and gave him my condolences. This man instantly cried. I know that was healing for him and the begining of a.... probably healthier grieving journey. Good news is... momma survived safe and sound. I requested to be her nurse instead of a male one (as originally assigned).. The husband endured enough trauma to also witness another man assessing his womb and vulva for bleeding. As a woman, I felt more comfortable and competent to deal with the issue.
People like you make small changes. Tell your story. Some of us can actually learn from them. You matter ❤
@@kamilamuza9100 Thank you for what you and all nurses do. We have a lot of doctors and nurses in both mine and my wife's families, and it gives us such a source of relief knowing that we can trust people like you with our care when we are most venerable.
Fatherhood is one of the best movies i saw Kevin Hart really played his role!! 😂❤
I love this movie. As a single mother of 4 and the father of my oldest 3 being gone for almost 9 years now, it is hard at times to be the only one.
So who did you get pregnant by if it was so hard and why have another kid? I am not even trying to be mean, but I have never understood as a woman single mothers who KEEP having kids, but have no help. Where did you have time to get pregnant? Wtf?
@@Isthisjoebidengood question
I know with my mom she was a widow, so her struggle was like Kevin's. When your spouse dies suddenly it seems worse for a young parent,
But I feel like the commenter is a troll looking for rage bait because the math...@@Isthisjoebiden
@Isthisjoebiden probably to keep around the man/woman that got her/him pregnant.
i was raised by a single mom, you got this🩷🩷
It’s good to know that groups are changing to accommodate the single parent whoever is raising the child(s). I was in a group we had single fathers plus adopted parents and grandparents who parents abandoned their children.
My wife spent 3 days in labor. She was waited on hand and foot like she deserved. I was with her the entire time and I did everything and more to keep her calm and comfortable. She had an emergency c section and our daughter was pretty small as she came a few weeks early. Even after she was born I remained the solid rock I needed to be to keep my wife calm and happy. On our last night there while trying to get some sleep I cracked and a week’s worth of panic and anxiety and worry finally came out. Not a single person asked me if I was okay or anything. She was the star, I get that and that’s how it should be, but too many fathers are left on the wayside and forgotten. I could have lost either or both of the most important people in my life and I would have been absolutely powerless to stop it, yet I was little more than room decor.
My best friend passed away when her baby was 8 weeks old. Every year till the year he remarried I wished him a happy Mothers day because he was pulling double duty. I did have the joy of helping him raise the baby and answering questions when he had them. We are still in contact 14 years later even though they moved out of state.
My aunt passed when her youngest was 4 months old. My uncle raised 4 children ranging from 7 yrs to 4 months old. He never remarried. I don't know of him even dating after. There are not many men that would have managed that on their own.
My mum and dad once lost their shit on a mother care worker (mother care was a shop in the uk for baby stuff and parent and baby stuff) the store had these amazing rooms for feeding and changing babies. Areas for breast feeding etc. a dad was in the store and went to take his newborn in the room for a feed and change when the worker told him he couldn’t go in there. She told him to use the toilets nearby. My parents lost it, went full Karen on this woman and asked her if she’d eat off a toilet seat and that the room was for parents and babies not just women. I was only a kid myself at the time but mum always says this father looked so exhausted, he was probably a single dad.
I have never been prouder of my parents for standing up for a dad like that.
Good on them for calling out that bs
100% my mum doing this. She hates to see this shit.
That's not going Karen, That's a Chad move, the worker was the Karen.
This movie had me balling. Single dad's who raise their child on their own need more appreciation!
Honestly, i would have jumped in to help the poor guy in a heartbeat. He's trying his best and needs help.
My mother’s group has been amazing from the start. I introduced my husband and explained he was primary carer and full time dad and I would be working. They have been amazing and have learnt from him as much as they have from the rest of the group
That's not your husband, that's your wife.
@@IkesPimpHandAnd that’s a really archaic mindset.

@@IkesPimpHandI giggled at this
@@IkesPimpHand if you ever grow up and mature, maybe you'll get the privilege of being called dad before you keel over
Single dads need help too. They need groups too. They need support too. And I love how he, respectfully, called her out lol "You're lying." This was such a touching movie.
Fathers need help, too! Especially the ones brave enough to ask for it!❤
I stood outside of the new parent group we were told about at the hospital and cried when they told us it was only for mothers. They all took it the wrong way, trying to comfort me because they thought I was just having a hard time separating from dad, but I was crying because I knew he was struggling and needed support just has much as I did.
It’s crazy how he comes for help and has a genuine concern and the women in there having their children, knowing the struggle try to turn him away is pure evil
Love this scene! I am the youngest of 3 who was raised by my dad. It just helps put into perspective the struggles he went through to provide/raise us even if he didn’t let it show. Respect and love to ALL single parents making it on their own💕
I have two male teachers that went on paternity leave this year to take care of their babies. One of them doing it while his wife went back to work because her maternity leave was over. He came and visited one day and it was just so nice to see the love and care he had for gis daughter
That first 5 seconds had me ROLLING! It is so true 😂🤣😂🤣😂
When my daughter's mom and I separated the parenting agreement in the county that we lived in required that I attend a parenting class... The class was literally just a bunch of men being berated.
I was so excited to be a father and it took me a while to get back to that excitement after they beat that s*** right out of us trying to tell us we were all bad dads.
No. We did what was right for our daughter by recognizing that it wasn't going to work with the two of us and we would be better off separated...
That was 10 years ago and we have probably one of the best co-parenting relationships you can ever find.
I hope all the other dads from that group found the same kind of happiness.
I like that they were willing to help after he said he had nobody else to ask, I mean it sucks that it took that long but at least they didn't keep trying to push him out and gave actual advice.
Raised my girls while my wife works and that white noise oh man what a relief. ♥️

Nehat is the name of the movie???
I'm my dad's first child, and when he gained custody of me at the age of 4, he often reached out to my aunts and grandparents on my mom's side, even my babysitter and neighbors for some guidance. Being a parent is a big deal, and single fathers don't get the respect they do for trying and dropping their ego to ask for help
I was raised by a single dad i owe him the world so much
Something that worked for me when j was a baby was loud music. Which makes sense considering im basically deaf now because of how loud i listen to music. My dad said i hardley ever cried but when i did he'd play some ac/dc or led zeplin and i'd calm down.
One, Kevin Hart did an amazing job playing this role and I don’t even know the title of the movie. Only saw this clip, but he played the role of a struggling single dad trying to make it work for his baby so fucking well.
Two, single dads are a thing and they shouldn’t be looked down on or excluded. They need just as much help as single mothers do and should be given just as much slack because they’re doing a two person job all by themselves. Single parents who come out of those years with a child who is a good person and a functioning member of society are real life superheroes and deserve some slack wherever they can get it.
Thank you. I had my oldest when I was 18, graduated 3 months later, college + work + toddler (tough and thought it would kill me- that was appetizers for what was to come!) I can’t really remember how we made it - just kept going forward every day. Lots of rough times, even with the support and help of friends and fam and absolute rockstars in the childcare world and suddenly I have a teenage boy & when you asked what does he want to do and be when he gets into the world- “idc about what work I do, I’ll do whatever I need to career wise, I just want to build a family.i want to be a dad, I want a wife and kids and a home and pets and then property up north where we can go and play with the big boy toys I’ll have one day” (most of this is things we didnt have when he was growing) he’s 27 now and if you asked me about him last year I cried thinking about how proud I was of that guy, I don’t have the words. Ask me today- I have even more love and pride in him than ever and at the same time I my heart absolutely breaks for him April 2024 his whole world shifted, his wife became a drug addict (we think? Kinda a mystery at this point) and her choices = him making the hardest choice he is now a single father raising my 2y/o grandson. He calls more now, asking questions or advice or the “mom, he’s sick and can’t go to daycare can you take him” I wish I could solve all of his day to day issues but I have to tell him - day to day- please don’t look at long term down the road, those problems will change a bunch before you get there. Solve today’s and tomorrows and keep going forward. I am so proud of him, still can’t watch this movie though!
"You're lying becuse the sign out there says parents" Thank you!
You know what pisses me off? When a woman's bathroom has a changing table and the men's doesn't.
In South Africa in most places both male and female bathrooms have changing tables. If it's an older building then there is no changing table in either bathroom but most places have it. Also in malls and other recreational places there's not only changing tables in the male restroom too, there's a family bathroom that is for people with young children so a dad can enter with his young daughter instead of sending her into the ladies restroom by herself. There's a changing table there too. The family restroom is usually only 2 stalls but it's quite spacious so you can take a pram in there. You can lock it so if you are say a mom with a newborn and toddler, you have peace of mind knowing your kids are safe in there with you while you use the toilet. It's great. I really appreciated it when I was a new mom.
@Freya1412 wait other countries don't have it?
@@lunariousmoon apparently so since op says the male bathrooms don't even have changing tables in their country. Come to think of it even China and Korea have changing tables in male bathrooms, I asked my husband because he worked in both countries.
Eeyup! And until they fix that problem, I think fathers get to use the women’s changing tables!
My husband was a single dad until I met him when our girls were in kindergarten. He raised his baby girl by himself from the time she was 6 months old.❤ She's 16 today.🎉

Movie's called Fatherhood. It's a true story about a dad who raises his daughter after his wife died from birthing complications
Thank you
As someone who raised 2 babies on my own, the vacuum running helped mine. Also car rides. Those 2 things saved my life.
I wish there was a space for JUST father's, and JUST mothers. When me and my husband lost our first I grieved doubly hard for him the most. We both grew up without dads and while I had my mom and his mom, he kinda felt solo'd out and like he had no male influence/ confidant to turn to to guide him thru "father's grief". It was absolutely heartbreaking and, dealing with the loss myself, I was fumbling and had no idea what to do to help him process. We had barely been married for 1 year, and that time period damn near broke or marriage. 😔
this. just moms, just dads, and mixed groups. women barely have any spaces where men dont feel they have the right to barge thru the door and make it all about them, ruining their oportunities to talk about the things that concern them. birth, and being pestered for sex while you still have an open wound the size of a dinnerplace inside ur body is an exclusively female experience. and most single fathers are widows, so they also need help w other shit.
I loved this movie, and though I'm not a father, I lost my mom at 10, and his reaction to the 'news' he gets at the hospital hit home a little.....if you've seen the movie you'll know what I mean.
I love how they ended up giving him advice even if the one was rude to him at first.
I really appreciate the fact they show the misandry of society against dads in this movie. A lot of men are criticised because they are tired too and they "don't deserve attention" compared to the mother. Even if they don't carried the baby for 9 month doesn't mean they can't be tired, anxious, etc.
Women wanting to get all the pity lol sounds about right
That is true but it is all societal.
Women are more expected to be super moms and deal with the baby sh*t much more then men. Men are congratulated for just being there and doing bare minimum for their kids. Both are unrightly judged.
Is it right? No.
But there should be a moms only groups for those who dealt with difficulty of pregnancy and childcare after. Dads should have their own too. Then there could be a PARENTS space group too!
@@TheOMGRamenyou mean the mother being a loving person. Making sure her children know they should be good people and raise them to be good people while the father shows you need to be strong for you family. Providing financial stability and taking care of them making sure they have what the need and want. Making sure they have presents under the tree or clothes for school. Father works for the money to provide while the mother is the heart of the home.
@@TheOMGRamenThe reason it’s like that is because only recently has it been realized that baby’s need time with their dad’s too. Dad’s didn’t get to just stop going to work to take care of a baby. If you are the one going to work for the majority of the day when you come home generally you will have done less for the baby than the mom has.
@@brendanjohnson8979proved the point
My dad raised me and my 2 siblings alone for 7 years and he got a lot of dirty looks and criticism for just being a single dad vs my mom who people gushed over and would often say things like “aw you poor dear being a single mother is hard” but I never heard anyone compliment or even feel bad for my dad for taking care of all 3 of us alone and on one paycheck. It still makes me upset to see things like this all single parents are just trying to fulfill both parental roles and no one can do that easily.
The world in general doesn’t appreciate men
This type of thinking contributes to the idea that mothers are defaulted as better parents, while fathers are only expected to do the bare minimum like working and making money! If my fiance ever became a single dad, god forbid, I wouldn’t worry about him doing a good job, but I can’t say most men would be good single fathers if they mom left or died.
I can tell this story is false
@@essyisjustreactingI can tell you’re sexist.
@@essyisjustreacting gtfo my comment section, like you lived it I dont have to pull up receipts of my childhood to prove you right goodbye
That first scene hit home for me. When our daughter was born both my now wife and I struggled with post natal depression, and for me it was worse as there was plenty of support networks for new mothers, but stuff all for fathers. It took me the best part of a year to find some dad support groups
Awww, I’m sorry!
This was one of kevin heart's best movie's period!!!
Faaacts. He does well when he isn't just thrown into shit for comedy. Has not had a good movie like this in a WHILE.
@@DEMONITION1723what is the movie name
I feel you, brother.... my baby's mama is a lazy ass b word.... I work overnight shifts and come home, wake the kids up, make breakfast, brush my daughters hair, drop them off at school, come back home clean the house, find something to do until school is over at 3 cause I know once I fall asleep nobody is gonna pick them up ( especially her). Ever since they started school at 2017 and honestly I have enjoyed ever second of it. And I have become an expert at braiding...😂😂😂
Then why wouldn't you be smart enough to get rid of her? Why support her financially and put up with that?
I agree with other commenter. It's time she hit rock bottom to see how far she has fallen. Sometimes that is all that is needed. If she truly has no joy or love for you or your children she needs to leave the home. The kids see this and while they may not say it, it hurts them.
Please don't tell me the reason you don't want to divorce her was because of her family somehow (or is it yours)?? Or do you still need her for the segs?? Or do you still love her?? Or is it the law you worried about (like the mother will get the kids and you're the one paying child support despite all your effort)??
I always told any woman who complained about her husband being lazy as* (or even abusive) to just Divorce. This will be no different.
I guess it's your choice in the end. But just remember, children see, children do. Meaning if they see their mother being lazy as*, there's a chance they will copy her behavior somehow, and it could affect how they will find their partner in the future...
@aaaaann9600 the "segs"? What is that?
Oh, are you trying to say sex? Why the heck wouldn't you just write it? This is comment section...its not like you are a content creator that has to worry about having your video demonetized...🙄
I feel like ur in the relationship to justify calling a woman a bish. Leave if you’re unhappy.
I am so proud of my brother getting sole custoy at 18. The mother isn't a bad person but was neglectful from drug use. She's clean now. He had to be a single father as a teen and I'm so proud of him for doing what was needed for his child.
This was a good one. Kevin did his thing.❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂Kevin is excellent in his serious roles. Transition is wonderful. And still funny.
This is such a good movie, it made me cry more than once
I just want the dad to know that most parent groups are willing to take dads and happily so. Mommy groups have been known to let single fathers in or even when dad is the main caregiver. It’s really not about gender for the most part anymore. I think moms are just happy to see an active father in general. Not just one who’s there 🙃
They have to because there aren’t any fathers groups to direct men to, which is continually heart breaking
This is a flat out lie
@@johnjames3504 I’m sorry that was your experience :( but that doesn’t mean it’s a lie. Men realize they can do their own groups right? Like if yall really wanted to you would. Idk why if your area doesn’t have a group for specifically fathers, you wouldn’t just make your own? lol like nothing is stopping you! But to say mommy groups refuse men that’s just not always true. On social media I understand wanting only women in the parenting groups, but women seeing an active father doing more than just the bare minimum? That’s gold in most women’s eyes 🤷🏼♀️
@@SpaceCase6669-myOfhmm it appears my comment got zapped but in short look up women shut down men’s rally as a matter of fact scroll down about 5 to a Washington post article it horrifies me
@@SpaceCase6669-myOf If you need advice on being a parent, your first thought usually isn't "Let's start a new father's group", right? Like that's even more work, and it's not like other dads are just spawning day 1
I loved this movie!
What is it called
Fatherhood :it’s on Netflix
That woman talking in the beginning is so real for saying that
My son liked the sound of the dryer while sitting in a baby swing. You try anything.
Our dryer was in the kitchen. It was a very soothing sound. My parents separated when my sister and I were young - 8 and 6. I was too young to go to school, according to my mother, so my father was a self-employed farmer/logger who took me around with him every day for that year. My mother worked nights as a nurse. The very best year. I learned so much about repairing machinery and a lot about listening.
Single fathers deserve support too
One of the rare few comedians turned actors that's actually good
Me and my mom loved this movie so much.
I don’t have kids and kinda on the fence about having them but this movie made me appreciate both parents and single parents a whole lot more
My husband made sure to go to as many classes and as many parenting places as possible. Fathers need to be part of this, no exceptions
One of Kevin Hart's best work. I really got to respect him evenire after this movie.
The name's Fatherhood btw
Thank you… dang I scrolled forever looking for this.
What movie?
Fatherhood on Netflix
Fatherhood it’s on Netflix
@@atbolerYou are a hero.
@@atbolerthank you very much
My dad worked so hard for me. He had a restraining order from my mom but she went to jail and I went back into my dad’s custody when the restraining order expired. He filed for bankruptcy, spent afternoons cutting trees, and selling his most cherished items. I would be no where near as successful as I am today without him and the lessons he taught me. Saying that as a 15 year old.
“You’re lying” 😂
Best Kevin Hart movie, I cried and it was very emotional ❤
What’s it called?
@@screamsinsignlanguageFatherhood
Movie title:Fatherhood Streaming Service: Netflix
Am I the only one that throws my head back with Cory when he does the intro
I can understand women wanting a group of only women to talk about certain things they don't want to talk about in front of men, but it is NOT ok to treat fathers less of a parent.
At what moment did they treat him any less of a parent?
I meant generally
Obviously they didn't
@@SQUELCH-zj7ilit was a group for parents and yet when they saw a dad they immediately tried to kick him out despite being a parent as well
@@PrimateProductionsthey did
One of the good movies Kevin made I don’t usually cry to movies but I shed a tear for this movie
That baby is so angelic.
As eveyone is saying dads need help too weather or not rheir wife/girlfriend/mother of their kids has passed or left them. I feel the reason many men feel disconnected from their families and like they have to be bad cop is because they miss out of the stuff like this. They miss out on community and advice, they miss out on the lack of judgment when talking about mental health or the struggles theyve had. They miss out on that bonding with their child and bonding with others that have gone through the same or something similar that can help.
The hardest thing about raising a child as a single father was not having a support group and always being pushed in the wrong direction as a man and not a parent
My husband is a stay at home dad. This is definitely a parent thing, not just mom
I love this movie. It was so good and Kevin's acting was just AMAZING. The scene where his wife dies was so believable.
i absolutely love that kevin hart portrayed matt, my mom grew up with the the real liz so i grew up around so many stories of liz and her childhood. we also have so many copies of the original book fatherhood is based on “two kisses for maddy”. when i first found out that two kisses for maddy, and liz and matt’s story was being turned into a movie i was so excited me and my family had a family movie night and watched it the day it came out, i’ve never seen my mom have so many mixed emotions and feelings before but i highly recommend this movie and looking into reading the book too (matt is a hilarious writer)
Best movie ever ❤❤❤❤
That chocolate beautiful baby almost made me rethink a few things and do some reconsidering. 💜💜
My dad basically raised us 3 by himself. Single fathers need more appreciation and help than they get. It's hard being a single parent.
If its a group for mothers just put that. Dont put parents cause parents can be mom or dad.
No way!! Seriously? We never thought of that! Good thing you were here go inform everyone!
@PrimateProductions just shut up..
...ok, cool... Baby sitters... Is boss man going to front that cost? Is he going to be held responsible for anything that could happen while he is working.
Smh I hate people like that.
loved this film, you can see something real behind kevin’s eyes in this. He really nailed this role
“I just want him to die, is that wrong?”
“No”
Bruh
Yeah wtf was that
@@OG_Jiraya thaat is how women give advices to other women
It's something that women can feel sometimes after having a baby. It something that can have them slip into postpartum depression. Remember that newborns can be a handful, and the parent could be low on sleep, exhausted, or just mentally drained. It doesn't mean she actually wants harm to come to her husband but just that he is engaging with her when she just is too overwhelmed.
@@Zorant0Zero
Yep. And also, sex? While taking care of a newborn? Oof.
@@Scarab3271that and the physical trauma. I’d be annoyed as hell too if my husband wanted se/x not even a few months after giving birth. like I just went through the hell that’s childbirth after suffering for nine months, and your first thought is, can we finally have se/x again? some women are fine with it, some just want help raising the baby and not being treated like ‘the wife’ that owes anyone anything
What's this movie and or show plz?
Dude manages to make a great presentation WHILE showing how great of a multitasker and father he is. And he wanted to fire him.
The movie name
Fatherhood on Netflix
@savannahmaddux thank you
Honestly, even if it were a mom group, to have a dad come in and talk so freely about needing help and wanting help, should make every mom heart understand that he should be included.
If they need a place to talk, like what the conversation was before he entered, I get it, you might not want to talk about that in front of another guy. But then they could say he could come every other meeting, and when he isn't there, they can talk more intimate stuff🙈
Only reason for the rant, is because I'm sure this happens in real life as well. Single dad does have a lot of bad reputation and not a lot of accomidation, and things around that might help them.
