[quote=Anonymous]The second one was a much bigger adjustment for my DH than it was for me, for the same reasons mentioned above. I was used to being in demand, for being the default, for thinking about the kid before myself. When the second came, we had 2 kids 18 months apart, and DH became the default for our firstborn. It evened things out between us, and I might even go so far as to say it made things a lot better in our house bc he finally had to work as hard as I did. He's not a lazy spouse or father, but when there is only 1 kid, it is so easy for the dad to be the secondary parent, esp when the first kid breastfeeds and is clingy to mom.[/quote]
