Julie: Mr. Sanders, what you have been feeling and enjoying is all to do with the way in which you treat and help your daughter within this crucial time in her and your lives. These things are enjoyful at the start and then eventually it runs out in some cases. I’ve seen it before in people who were better parents than you in my eyes and they failed because this is what they felt all the time until they had their child taken off them. This happens due to neglect. Mr. Sanders listen; I work an 8 hour day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., 6 days a week. My husband works an 8 hour security guard job from 8.30 p.m. until 4.30 a.m. He sleeps until about 4.00 p.m. and then looks after our daughter until I get home from work. Then I take over until he comes back from work the next day.
Rick: Hold on, hold on. So what you are trying to tell me is that your husband looks after your child in the day, which makes him a male mother like me and you still disapprove of this because you don’t think its right. Either you have a disillusioned view, your arrogant or you despise men even if they try to help you like your husband obviously is, the difference between my family and yours is that I don’t have to work and so I can spend all my time with my daughter because that is what me and my wife had decided to go about it this way because it doesn’t change our lives much and my wife earns enough for the whole family to live a good life and for our child to get a great start of hers.
Julia: Yes, that is what I’m saying because I believe that males are too heavy handed and act before they think it through. They also do not pay attention to babies because they become too involved in something that they have been doing or been watching on the T.V.
Rick: Ok, maybe some of the above is true but there is no way that anyone would forget about their child. There are more things to being a male mother than you probably think, like making a bond between father and child. There are a few things that I don’t like about being a male mother like the way people look at me in the street with the buggy. I don’t believe that any father would intentionally not see their child so I think that with the time fathers get with their children, they should turn that into quality time and should remember that for ever.
Julie: People today have a fixed picture of the perfect household, a woman who cooks, cleans and looks after the children. A man who works all day and comes home expects food on the table. This is one of the most prejudiced and very discriminative points of view. So therefore I think that I could possibly go along with male motherhood.
Rick: Julie, Thank you for finally agreeing with me about male motherhood. Thank you audience for listening to us in this time deliberation.
Julie: Thank you, goodnight.
Host: Thank you for listening, thank you Julie and Rick, it was great listening to you. Join us next time when we will be talking about. “Should the U.K join the Euro?”, thank you again and goodnight.
