[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Relax. You all will be fine and when kid number two comes you'll be the one leaving him on the couch and you'll nearly forget to pack kid number 3 in the car on your way to the grocery store. And soon your sweet baby will morph into a toddler whose sole mission is to end his little life even with all your best safety efforts in place. This toddler will also laugh at you as they are dangling from the ceiling fan while waving about your sharpest pair of scissors. I too had much more infant/small childcare experience than my husband when our first was born and worried and flipped out all the time, but he learned, and is an awesome dad. He's also been a rockstar at parenting our teenage nephew. [b]Let him do more and instead of giving him the answers have him think it through[/b].[/quote] This is key. I am trying to do this more, instead of answering inane questions. When you're tired, it's easier to just provide the answer...so that you have to exercise your diminished mental capacity on the kids more than your DH. But making your DH realize that taking care of kids is just common sense will pay dividends long-term. Also letting him f-up (though leaving a 6 month old at home is not an f-up I would tolerate).[/quote]
