The implication of that

So many things happening in the first pannel ^^
"Oh look, they're so feisty already! Proud future Vikings I'd say."
"Of course they are! They're our sons after all."
"Here, take this, you might need it, one never know with your neightbours..."
"Finland, my kid does not need a knife to protect himself, that's my job!"

Is baby Finland's stroller decorated with birch-bouquet and sauna stones? Oo
Of course Sweden would chose his funny horses.
I'm not even going to comment on Denmark idea of styled stroller.
I love Norway's dedication to his favourite food.

@Nope-pala Finland giving Sweden's Baby a knife I take a a reference to Sweden and Finland dating each other's Sisters implying he is giving his nephew a toy knife.

I'm really loving everything going on in the first not-panel: Denmark and Norway happily chatting while their kids have a feet fight, and Finland going 'Baby Sweden where's your knife? Here, you can have my extra.' and Sweden not being amused by Finland handing a knife to his kid. XD

But yes, poor America; she's being a solo mom regardless whether she wants to or not. I guess that's why American women with kids, who divorce their husbands end up having less to do than while married; they were already solo moms, they just didn't realize.

Yeah, watch the Taylor Swift video "The Man", and you'll get it: @1:51

Sorry boys, it is exactly like this in the US in many cases. In the US it's women's work taking care of kids.

- just another childless catlady

@NaCltyGrl And along with that there's such hysteria about "stranger danger" that guys with young daughters who take care of them solo in public often get cops called on them in the US. Because people just assume they've kidnapped her. (It can happen with sons as well, but much more often with daughters.) That's seriously messed up thinking as well.

@Manabi Yeah, another reason why I am happy to live in Denmark because it isn't a thing. There is still a stigma towards male daycare workers but not as bad as other places in the world

@NaCltyGrl Oh, the message is getting received for sure.

There's just something... creepily heartwarming about Finland offering a tiny knife to Baby Sweden.
It's like... Finnish men love babies, obviously (fudge those who don't -ed.), but just show it in a... hmmm, unusual fashion.

-Here, honey, it's all yours.
-Goddammit, Finland, don't offer my kid a knife.
-Hey, don't curse in front of the kids. Anyway, it's just payback for you fu... ssing my sister.
-Well, you... fussed my sister.
-PER!!!!... sephone. Persephone, the goddess. True, that.

@DarkMage7280 Perjantai... (friday)

It's interesting to hear about cultural differences in childcare! It seems like gender roles are more fluid in some parts of the world.

@restpochard Partially that, and partially because in the Nordic countries there was a HUGE campaign in the 1970s to spread the popularity of men actually being involved with their own kids.

guys why are the comments full of people sending paraghraps for nursing and online classes??
