"It’s awesome. I want to detract all of the congrats to me and just move it to Megan because she really does all the work. I keep getting called ‘The Music Teacher,' " he said. "Someone the other day was like, ‘You’re such a good dad!’ Just because I was holding the baby. And she was fuming, like, ‘No, no, no, no.’ She’s the one. I just play the guitar and pray that the baby is happy."

      I truly don’t understand this. Why do you NOT want to spend time with your children, taking care of them??? You bond with them when you change them, feed them, bath them, settle them etc. Pat on the back for acknowledging he doesn’t do anything and is fine with that. Loser. 

    2. It really is a low bar for men. Just existing in a child’s life is all it takes to get praise while moms can’t do a god damn thing right.

      “i just pray the baby is happy”

      like he has nothing to do with trying to ensure that lmao

    4. sounds like he was trying to humble brag but since he’s dumb as fuck it just came out much worse

      God the choice of having kids would be so easy if I could just be a dad. Like congrats on admitting you just exist in the kids orbit?

    6. He thinks he’s doing a thing by complimenting her on being such a great mother, but really he’s exposing how horrible of a father he is and how pissed off she is about that.

      Well that’s a wild way to admit to being a non-involved dad. I hope this was a bad joke….in any case Megan has terrible taste in men but seems like a good mom so at least the baby has that going for her

      wild because what i have heard about his relationship with his older daughter suggests that he is a good dad so why is he now accepting being just “the music teacher” for this one and acting like that’s ok instead of being a more active participant in the baby’s life

    9. Just another day of celebs being out of touch. How is it that everything he does is just so “MGK” — there’s just nothing surprising about this dude.

      Shout out to an actual good dad because we need better role models. My partner got our baby panadol in the night when her fever hit and is staying home from work today so I can go to work. He also plays her guitar. The rewards are evident. She trusts and loves her daddy as much as her mummy and shes thriving. And it makes him as happy as it does her.

    11. It is very strange. My husband really is a great dad but he gets praised for like whatever. He was holding the baby getting frozen yogurt with one arm and old ladies were like swooning. We stayed at a hotel where I was working a conference and he had the baby for 3 days and the front desk made sure to tell me how great he was for doing that when we checked out. He flew with our eldest two kids by himself and the flight attendants gave him a “dad beer”. 😒😒😒 Luckily he acknowledges the double standard and doesn’t like give himself 1 billion Dad Points for it. But it’s annoying that as a mom you are never ever getting your accolades while dads do bare minimum to thunderous applause.

      Glad he’s acknowledging that men (can) do the bare minimum and get praised for being amazing dads

      Gross that he acknowledges he does bare minimum (if we can even call it that) and could give an eff about it

    13. I don’t understand..why doesn’t he do something about it instead of laughing about it?!
