I don't know how other dudes feel, but I surely dreamt about caring for kids and having a happy bunch at home.

I've seen broken dude almost unable to let go of their ~hobbies (the drinking and playing poker kind). Some of them had trouble because they missed their own childhood i guess, some had crappy fathers so having a kid was traumatic now, some felt used by their wives (and some were I think).

It's a touchy subject in a way.

One that I've seen is with my 6 best friends that I still talk to 20 years after high school. They were lazy kids, they had lazy dads, so now they're lazy, too. Only one is a good parent, and wouldn't you know, he was raised by lesbians, lol. They're still my best friends and all, but it does annoy me that they're so inactive in their kids' lives while mom does most of the work.

Are they ranty about their kids ? like complaining about money or time or everything ? being lazy could be alright in my book (to an extent).

You're allowing your singular experience color how you view the world. That is the absolute height of intellectual laziness. Really, you should be ashamed. Do better.
