One stubborn father-to-be has come under criticism online after refusing to change his unborn baby boy's nappies.
Why? Because 'it's gay,' of course.
The gent's partner posted over at networking and discussion siteReddit, bringing the issue up in a relationships discussion group.
In a thread titled 'Me [21F] with my husband [28M] of 3 years, he refuses to touch my son's privates parts because it's gay,' she wrote:
"I told my husband that when the baby comes he needs to use baby wipes on the groin and butt as a precaution since it can be pretty bad.
"He stopped me and said that I would be changing all of the diapers, that he doesn't want to touch anything because it's gay and that it's my responsibility."
"I'm planning on breast-feeding so I won't be getting a lot of sleep and so if he helps me change the baby it would help me a lot."
We're not saying we're the biggest fans of tending to poop and wee, but it's part of the parenting package, right?
And we're not even going to get into his ridiculous reasoning for not cleaning up after his baby on the way.
Obviously, the mum-to-be was upset by her husband's attitude towards splitting parenting chores, as she went on to open up to Reddit users about her childhood, stressing how important hands-on parenting is to her.
She wrote: "I didn't have the best mom and I want the best for my son.
"I'm an only child so I don't have much experience on child care so I want to be over-prepared.
"I heard that raising a baby is one of the most stressful times in your life so I'm learning all I can right now because I'm a slow learner according to my husband."
Detailing that the couple have been together for five years (married for three), and that he had been happy at the news of her pregnancy, she asked the community for some advice and insight about the problem she faces.
She said: "I don't understand why my husband thinks like that. Our baby is our son, we need to take care of him. My husband stormed off so what can I say to change his mind?"
And obviously the people of Reddit were shocked at the expectant father's approach, and had strong words of advice for the mum-to-be.
Comments went along the lines of:
"Tell him to quit being a baby and that as a father he has to change his own son's diapers."
"Touching his son is gay. Does this mean he would help if it were a girl? How creepy is that?”
"I am kinda suspecting that he’s expecting you to do all the child rearing and this is an excuse, not an argument.”
The expectant mother later posted in the a subreddit that she plans on talking to her husband about splitting the duties of parenting.
She added that people telling her to leave him wasn't helpful, as he is still the "best person" she's met, that nobody's perfect, and also she relies on him for financial support and shelter.
