This person is definitely a moron. Also stip hanging around useless men.
The difference here between men and women, often, is that if mom walks out of the room, it’s not a given that dad will orient his attention to the littles without mom calling attention to her leaving the room. Whereas when dad leaves, mom’s attention shifts without being asked. This isn’t crazy irrational neuroticism, it’s just that we have our antennae up with littles in a way that men don’t tend to, we are always the default caregiver in a way that men don’t recognize is quietly happening in the background.
