[quote=Anonymous]I'm a ftm, our dd is 6 months old now.  From her birth I feel like I have had to teach my husband everything.  He's never been around babies before so I expected him to need help learning how to change a diaper or make a bottle, etc and I was happy to show him all of that.  It was cute to see him learn how to hold her and care for her.  But now I have to remind him of basic safety precautions regularly (don't leave a baby that can roll on the couch unattended etc).  I try to tell myself that I need to let go and trust him to figure it out, but sometimes I am genuinely fearful for my daughter's well being.

Today he asked me if I thought it would be okay if he left to run a quick errand while DD was napping.  Alone.  No other adults present.  I nearly died.  And then I had to try and remain calm while I told him absolutely not and list all the reasons why that would be so dangerous.  I love my husband, I really do.  And he is normally a really smart guy.  But I need him to get with the program and I don't know how to make that happen.  I hate feeling like a nag and I hate what this is doing to our relationship.  I've tried to have a normal conversation with him but it doesn't seem to sink in.  Am I just being crazy?  Anyone else have these problems? Suggestions?[/quote]
