why change?

yesterday fara and i went to jusco bukit raja to break fast at nandos there.. at first we went to johnny's but it was full house. so we waited for the time to break fast at nandos and i can see there were three couples with their children entered and seated near us. the mothers were busy holding the babies while the fathers were getting ready to eat. when it was time to break fast, the fathers quickly dig in while the mothers watched them eat.. the mothers were hungry.. i can tell from the way they looked at the food. but of course the mothers r always the one who have to hold their children, not their spouses who were happily enjoying their meals. from my observation all of three fathers of three couples did that. why not the fathers sacrifice by letting their wife eat first and they take over the kids? like my lecturer used to say, men will not take a leave when his kid is sick because his wife will and men will also not take a leave when his wife is ill also because she will. i dont think this situation happens during their courtship. sad enuf.
