Do dads go through a post partum thing? My husband has checked out & avoids baby & I even though we live under the same roof. He gets passive aggressive/whiney if he has to do ANYTHING with our baby. When they do have time together, it consists of him holding her & him playing on his phone. I see pics of dads with their kids & families doing stuff together & I wish that was us. My dad worked swing shifts 30+years & he always made time for us with sleep or no sleep. He enjoyed us & I don’t see my husband enjoying our baby.
my father was a wonderful father, single dad may I add. me and my sister had all his attention he tied my hair for school changed every diaper because my mother left and today my SO has changed only one diaper since our 6 month old was born so my expectations where just as high , but now I’m also in the same boat as you ladies i’m dying from exhaustion
Its def a thing. My husband went through it with our first. This time around hes already checked out and baby isnt even here. I know exactly what you mean..i want the little family perfect picture too but i feel I'll just have to wait it out. My dad has 6 kids and with each he dedicated all his extra time and energy too. Little or no sleep too. So my expectations are high too
