“Still not over the American woman who was super surprised to see so many men walking around with strollers and generally looking after their children alone during her travels through the Nordic countries.”

I’m from the US and I did the stroller thing often. My kids are out of strollers now, but when I go run I see dads often enough out pushing one or two kids. I take my kids to the park a lot and say hey to the other moms and dads I know. I volunteer for things at my kids school, in their classes. One time it was me and two other dads, although that does seem to lean more heavily toward moms. I think moms are still better at other peoples’ kids, at least I know that’s not a strength of mine.
I think my generation of parents, right now, is equal responsibility. I have had to correct some extended family members, when my family shows up to a gathering and we have food, they automatically assumey wife made it, and I’ll dissuade them of that notion. But that’s coming from a generation of people where that’s how it was, and I take no offense, and it also doesn’t happen anymore.
I would also not take offense to someone saying “Look at you doing dad stuff,” because hey, it’s not always easy, and encouragement is … encouraging.
