A dad has shared a photo of a belittling babygrow that instructs men on how to dress their baby.

Welcome to the 21st century, a time when genders have never been more equal - until it comes to stereotypical views on parenting that is.

If you’ve shopped for kids clothes any time recently, you’ve probably noticed the kind of slogans this dad is talking about, and men aren’t happy about it.

Posting in the ‘Daddit’ community of Reddit, one father shared a photo of a onesie that had the words “This shirt is daddy-proof” emblazoned across it as well as arrows pointing to where the baby’s arms and head should go.

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t go down well.

“The 1950s called, they want their onesie back,” one person wrote.

Another added, “This is so patronising. How did this actually reach the shelves in whatever shop it is?”

While some were just plain confused.

“Instructions unclear. Where do the legs go?”

Of course, this kind of thing is easy to laugh off but sexist attitudes towards dads are a very real problem. Why are we constantly told that men are less competent parents than women?

With that in mind, some dads used the post as an opportunity to share prejudiced things that happened to them while they were looking after their children alone.

“I took my kids to the aquarium while my wife was out of town and received tonnes of comments about ‘Where’s mum?’ and ‘You have your hands full’, one dad wrote.

Someone else added, “Some nosy mum decided to comment on how my daughters clothes didn’t match and her braid didn’t look like ‘a good mum would do.’”

“Stay-at-home dad here from the UK and I’ve had ‘you’re babysitting’ comments a lot more than I was expecting in the year I’ve been at home,” said another.

Mum or dad, being a parent is tough as one dad adds, “We are all learning…let’s have some grace.”
