me and my husband are having such a hard year last year on February 22nd our amazing little man decided to enter the world 13 weeks early. he weighted 2 pounds 6 ounces. we ended up in the nicu for almost 3 months and I stayed by his side the whole time. my husband had such a hard time dealing with it. well now that he is almost a year old I'm starting to get depressed. I don't understand why. I get so down because now that my son is home I have been the only one caring for him. my husband has maybe change 3 diapers he never gets up with him so I'm constantly doing everything. any other mommies have this problem?
I have tried and he says I'm nagging well I'm a stay at home mom so I do everything and he comes home eats and goes to sleep and this is his second kid so you would think he would be up for it. but I guess not
I'm begging to think all men are like this. When our Josie was first born he'd help every so often like with feeding her but no diaper change, I was the one up all night with her, until she was about 18 months old then finally he started playing with her & everything. I still change the diapers, which were in the middle of potty training so he takes her to potty, we split on who cooks for her, split on who dresses her. Maybe it's just taking dads longer to get use to the parenting game. Us mothers have it naturally :) his daddy instincts might kick in before long Hun. Talk to him about him.
Yea as my son is getting older he will hold him but I still do everything. and he don't understand why I'm so tired all the time. he throws a fit when I want to go to the store alone. it sucks I'm hoping things will get better. we fight about it to.
I know how you feel. My son was born on that day as well. When he was born he told me he didn't want to hold him because he didn't want to hurt him so I always did everything by myself. We would fight so much about it. When my son started getting a little older he started playing with him and stuff and he promised me that he would take him places with him and til this day he doesn't really take him anywhere and doesn't like changing his diaper.
when I had my daughter he did almost everything. now he just holds her for 5min. and gives her to me like he's tired come get her
