When I had my babies in the ‘80’s men would avoid pushing the buggies (walking next to one, pushing with one hand if they really had to) and generally not be seen in public with their children.

Fast forward to me doing long school runs with my grandchildren and everywhere we look we see men with children happily chatting and engaging with them and loving each other’s company and I love that positive image my grandchildren are seeing.

Is it because there’s less stigma or something more practical like working practices are different and women are no longer the prime carers? Unemployment maybe? Or have we, at last, moved on?

I had my first child in 1981 and my husband-who was my boyfriend then-and his mates would take her out in her buggy. They were all hard as nails teenagers too but had no qualms about pushing her in the street, or changing her nappy.

He drew the line at the big carriage pram though.

My dad was a nice guy but I always thought he was a bit embarrassed to be a dad. I really don't remember doing much with him, he never evem come to watch me play football in all the years I played, not once.

It's gone too much the other way now, too many parents wear their kids like a badge.

Reverse psychology: they're doing it to pull the milfs, coz everyone knows "women want what they can't have" and the fact he seems so happy and content makes him all the more desirable to the ones that get off on stealing someone else's man.

Yes, I'm taking the piss.

I think we have moved on. If I had kids I'd happily do the school run , as long as my dinner was ready when I got home

Puschairs in the 80s had shorter handles. If you are 6ft plus you were forever kicking the wheels if you used both handles.

I was born in 1968. My dad was completely "hands on" with all four of us. Before his time? Probably.
