"You can hear groups of fathers now having the same stultifyingly dull conversations about their babies as moms have had for time immemorial. You can see dads flushing red, up in arms, nearly tearful, about the same sort of mind-numbing minutia that was once the exclusive domain of mothers on school committees. You can see them co-playing on the playgrounds, co-watching TV, co-dependently taking part in their little loves’ gymnastics classes, violin lessons and friends’ ostensibly parent-free birthday parties."

FYI.
Not me. I generally think all suburban, upper-middle class moms and dads are annoying as fuck. In fact, I'm only involved so my kid can see that not all parents are feeble softies ready to cry and roll up into a ball whenever something doesn't go "as planned" for their feeble softy children.
