[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]your husband sounds immature. [/quote]

I don't know, I gave birth when I was 40. I love my son but there are days that I fondly remember sleeping in to whenever I want, going out to whatever restaurant that we want, and some of the other things that we did before having a child. I wouldn't give my child up for anything and I am thrilled to watch him grow as a person but I don't think it is abnormal to miss the freedom that existed before we had a child. I suspect that this is harder for people who have kids at an older age because you have more time to establish your adult lives and hobbies and the like.

I think a person is immature if they use that as an excuse to not be present for their childs life or to foist all parenting responsibility on the other parents because they refuse to give up their pre-kid life.

I actually think it is mature to say "This is how I feel. THis bothers me." shrug your shoulder and push on to be the best parent you can be. OP said that her husband is a good father but struggling with some of what that means.

OP, it could also be that your husband is not great with the baby years. They are exhausting. There are many wonderful moments but plenty of every day normal moments that are not as much fun, the late night feedings, diaper changes, illness, 24/7 demand for attention/help/love. He might change his mind as your child gets a bit older and really starts to grow. [/quote]
