A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

In the context of this thread, you're very clearly saying that the mom is always doing more because the workday is a vacation for the dad.
If that's not what you meant, maybe rephrase your comment, because that's what it reads like and judging by the 10 downvotes (none of which was me), I'm not the only one seeing it that way.
Because ultimately the meme was about moms not getting a break, and if the dad works all day and then goes and takes over the responsibilities at home for the rest of the day, then the mom is the only one ACTUALLY getting a break on any given weekday. And that's what most, though not all, young fathers seem to be doing these days. Maybe not in your corner of the world or when you were young, but as far as I can see, that's how it is these days.
Do you expect mothers to care for a baby all day and all night then?
Since you’re suggesting that sharing night duties gives mom a break that dads don’t have.
Should fathers never have to take care of anything when they get home from work?
Again, you're adding the definition of "vacation" to the work day.
I never did that. That's something you're inventing when I point out a work days hole in childcare.
(Also i've personally been using gender neutral language. Op referred to working dads, but my points extend to any variant of the dynamic across any partnerships where one works ad the other doesn't)
Downvotes on a thread like this mean nothing, btw - they're absolute nip to the redpilled trolls.
