I know there is a common visual joke women have of their husband going throught the pains of bearing children, but there is also a lot of talk about the closeness that a woman feel with her child because of this bonding.
When I ask questions about parenting styles and rights in regards to fathers vs. mothers, the 9 months of bonding is always brought up as a reason why mothers are the more dominate parent.
Just as an example of what I am getting at, would you be willing to be the parent that doctors don't talk to about what is wrong with your child?

If you have ever been in a doctor's office with both parents, most questions are directed to the mother. Even after I ask the question, the doctors will usually give the response to the mother. This happens with every doctor we have seen.

I wouldn't give it up the pain is horrendous during labour but is so worth it for what you gain with your child

Well I lost my ability to have children when I was 18 due to cancer so if I could get my man pregnant, he'd be barefoot and in the kitchen fulltime :-)
I don't quite understand what you are saying about doctors won't talk to the father because the mother is dominant. My father was in charge of taking all us kids to the doctors while mum stayed home with the others. As far as I'm aware, there was never any problems.

the whole bonding thing with the mother... i do not think it is all true. my husband bonds with the children as much as i do. i do not think i am the dominate parent, we are equals. each of us plays a role in the child, he does things better then i, and vice a versa. after having 2 babies, i would totally give it up to have more. there is no way i am going through another pregnancy. i would love for him to experience it. we talk about it, he would do it to. and why would doctors not talk about what is wrong with a child to a father? that's dumb... get another doctor...

Not on your life, I'm a mother and I would never willingly give up the feeling of having a new life growing inside of you or the bonding process a new mother goes through with being pregnant, and really, men would just look ridiculous being pregnant.

as far as pain my hubby could have it but the bonding and love u feel for ur new baby that u carried inside of u for 9 whole months through thick and thin i'd have to keep that. my hubby takes my little girl to her appts. b/c being a nurse I cant always get off of work so we are equally responsible for her. i think he's doing great shes only 4 months old.

Never. Every second of pain is worth it. And my husband and I share the responsibility of dealing with doctors, teachers, etc...
