<div><p>Parenting has changed a lot over the years, and now dads are expected to carry their weight and help their spouses look after the kids. That's exactly what Damien Leeson was doing at a shopping center in Queensland, Australia when something shocking happened.</p><p>Leeson had taken his newborn baby girl Harpah to a family restroom so he could change her diaper. While he was using the changing station, a woman and her son walked into the restroom. </p><p>While Leeson was looking after his daughter, the woman started to berate him, saying he was a "dirty old man," and telling him that it was "disgusting to see a fully grown man in a parent's room with a little girl," according to the <a href="https://www.warwickdailynews.com.au/news/dad-called-disgusting-for-feeding-daughter-in-shop/3141306/?ref=hs">Warwick Daily News</a>. </p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2250231759-3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2250231759-3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Leeson was too shocked too say anything back to the woman, but later he shared his experience on Facebook, where a surprising number of men said they could relate. He says they replied with comments like "that's normal" and "get used to it."</p><p>While Leeson was taken back by how many parents have been harassed for looking after their child, he's also received messages of support from parents across Australia.</p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2250231759-3.png" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p>Despite everything that happened, Leeson calls himself a "hands-on" parent, and says he'll keep changing his daughter no matter what people say. </p><p>"What's a bloke supposed to do anyway if he's a single dad?" he said. "My point is it's a parents' room, not a mothers' room. There are no change tables in the male bathroom."</p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2250231759-3-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2250231759-3-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>"I'm quite a hands-on father, whatever I can do to help my wife, I will."</p><h3>What do you think of this story?
