I TAKE OFFENSE TO THESE STATEMENTS!!!!!

As a Single Parent (FATHER) and pretty much the only prarent my two boys have known, I feel it makes light of what I do every day! 

YES, IT IS VERY SEXIST!

It is like saying that just because I am not a Woman I can't do a good job raising my two boys, and that is BULL! 

Please stop using this saying, It grates on my nerves everytime I hear it.
This is one of the reasons that I don't like Elfsea Moot as I am sure to hear it from the Minister of Children.

Yes I agree that many spouses leave the raising of children up to only one of the parents, BUT it is not always the Father that is running off to Fighter practice.
