[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]For me it was a frank conversation to my H that you are also a parent just like me. We are equal. I do not want to delegate tasks day and night. Stop asking if something needs to be done and just think for yourself what needs to be done- laundry, washing bottles, changing diapers, meal prep, take out dirty diapers, restock nursery, etc. This is life now and I'm figuring it out and you need to as well.[/quote]

Are you and your DH equals in terms of childcare? Nope.

Did you ever "correct" him by telling him he needed to do X___ in a manner you suggested or offer him advice on how to wash bottles, change diapers, etc.? IME, the DW believes she is in charge because she is the mother. Fair. But the "you are a parent just like me" translates into "I want you to do things how I think they should be done." Which is okay; however, you cannot pretend that you are equals on one hand and review his work on the other.

And, yes, I am speaking from experience.

I have not corrected him. I fully trust he is capable of parenting and handling tasks. I wouldn’t have married him or had his kid if I felt that way. I let him do whatever he wants and figure out like I’m trying to do. It’s a learning curve for both of us. We are both figuring this out. [/quote]
