The series "Dad's Life": Men as Raised Babies | Israel today

2021-09-13T05:57:23.244Z


The docu-reality follows the paternity challenges of privileged Israeli men like Chef Omer Miller, Oren Hazan, Kobi Peretz and the diamond Israel Or • If you were expecting a series that challenges the traditional division of roles in the family - this is not the case


The diamond dealer Israel Or raises his daughter using the open wallet method.

She has an attached nanny, a pool in the yard and a gilded coat to go with to the garden.

"She gets treated by Princess Diana," he explains, and we will ignore the irony that Diana received shocking treatment from the royal family until she finally broke up with her and ran away.

"Daddy's Life" is a new five-episode docu-reality series about famous fathers who open their lives to the cameras and share the personal dilemmas created around their loves.

In the premiere episode last night, we saw the same jeweler load the girl into a shiny red Ferrari car, and roll with her to the garden on the perforated and congested roads of Tel Aviv.

He has fulfilled his dreams, and now the father wants to fulfill all her dreams.

"Every day I do her productions. She tells me 'party' today, and she has a party tomorrow," he explained, pulling out an idea to pick up a "back to kindergarten party" with a private performance by children's star Mickey Mukhtar in the courtyard of their luxurious villa.

In the next scene he got out of a shiny white BMW car, and discovered a catastrophe.

Mickey, as expected, did not make time to arrive on a day's notice, while only four children confirmed arrival, and what do you do now with a bus designed to transport 32 kindergarten children to a party for no reason?

"What's hard for them to pardon? What broken parents," states the jeweler, saving the scene from the "her father's summer" experience thanks to the fact that he has a lot of money and friends to build a set that everything is fine.

"Father's Life", and this can be understood from the ambiguity of the name of the series, is intended to convey to viewers the meaning of being a father, and the difficulty that Israeli men experience during parenting.

From Oren Hazan, through Kobi Peretz to Chef Omar Miller.

"Maybe I'm exaggerating with her," he wonders to himself at the end of the episode that the diamond is too stressful, "but when she's 25, a mother of children ... I expect her man to do no less than I do. And to be a man like me. He lacks that."

Everyone has a certain understanding of what a "man" is, what masculinity should look like or what the roles of the average father in the Israeli family are.

The series does not question any of this, it only examines it through the eyes of privileged men within a contemporary reality.

And the conclusion: men have been and will remain grown babies, even when they have babies of their own.
