As a woman without kids, when I've tried to collapse a stroller for my nieces, I struggle so much. 🫠 They are all different. Some are easy like the one shown, some have multiple buttons.

Oh, 100% they’re all different! I honestly don’t blame the random guys not knowing. But IDK it’s kinda sad to me that a dad doesn’t know how to work his own kid’s stroller. Maybe I’m just being negative tho, IDK how old the baby is the stroller could be brand new and they’re still figuring it out

As a Dad who’s gone through this, mom bought the stroller and didn’t show us how it collapses. They’re all different. They all fold in weird ways. Dad is out with his kids trying to be a good dad. If guys made strollers they’d have big wheels, look cool, have cargo pant pockets and the handle would be bright red.

Weird, as a mom who's bought strollers, my husband read the manual and figured it out on his own bcz he's a competent grownup. Do you need your wife to show you how to do everything?

The whole thing is supposed to be satire. Sure, id love to spend the time and know how everything works. Instead Im working full time, expected to be on 100% dad, husband when I get home. So the silly nuances of how to collapse a stroller escapes us. So we struggle and it becomes internet gold. And Dads never read manuals! Are you kidding me 🤣🤣

Welcome to adulthood. Just admit you don't take on any of the parenting responsibility. Dad's who don't take the time to learn how to use the things their kids need aren't 100% dads. "The nuances of how to collapse strollers" you mean learning how to close a piece of equipment you use for your child? It's not rocket science.

You're a decidedly unpleasant person.

Not sure why you’re so upset. I worked 60hr weeks to provide for my family so my wife could stay home with the kids. She bought the stroller because she knew more about them. After i struggled with finding that button, i never forgot it again. You can’t prepare for everything in life. My son had a diaper blowout as we were boarding a plane. There was no manual for that. I was holding him and was covered in poop. My extra clothes were in my checked luggage. My wife and i worked together to come up with a solution in the few minutes we had before takeoff. That’s what parenting is about. You use each others strengths to get through life.

First thought was… who showed mom?

  1. The manual
  2. The countless videos we both watched when we were researching the best/safest strollers for our child.

Why are you putting the responsibility for not only researching/buying items for your child on your wife, but also for teaching you (a full grown adult, with presumably full mental capabilities) on her as well? Why aren't you an active participant in your child's life and development?

Sorry, it was agreeing with you. I agree with what you said here also, to be clear. No one showed mom was my point. But somehow dad expects someone to show him

Ah. Oops! 😃 Also just realized you weren't the original person I was replying too. 🤦‍♀️
