I wouldn’t say a PoS but clearly has a lot to learn - and what sounds like a crisis is not the place to do that. And he sounds like he has a lot to learn.
As a father, I believe that at a minimum you should care for your kids at least ONE day every week on your own, preferably more. And not just the fun stuff, either. Make sure it comprises bed time, bath time, making and eating meals, as well as getting the little tykes out of the house. Either parent needs to be able to cope alone, and more importantly, trust that the other can, too.
My suggestion is that he needs to have a frank conversation with his wife, and commit to the above care routine. He needs to be able to do this in a way that allows him to admit he doesn’t know things and get advice. But he does need to do the work and ensure his wife feels supported.

Couldn’t agree more. The politicians are only outraged as their donors are pissed. They couldn’t give a shit what happens as long as they get re-elected
- Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall. 3 months ago:
Not arguing that. Of the broadcasters / big media types, I find the BBC usually one of the better ones. But then I get my news from a wide variety of sources. The Intercept is generally a very good addition to my daily intake.

I am guessing you’ve never watched (say) Fox News in the US?
I’m not saying the BBC is good per se. I’m saying it’s slightly more objective than the rest.

I am sure this was discussed at the Starmer - Trump talks as a way to further isolate Americans from the truth.

Of course not. They’re a corporation. We like to think they’re perhaps less evil than others, but the truth is they would harvest their users internal organs if they thought it would increase shareholder value.
