[quote=Anonymous]Let me start by saying that I really don't know anything as I've not had to face this situation, but judging on my husband's ability to manage solo time with 2 year olds (limited) I would say don't press him now. It will get much easier for him to take your child on his own as she gets older, more verbal, more able to take direction, etc... For right now can you just find a way to not be around when he's there? Go to another room, take a long phone call w/ a girlfriend, do some laundry, weed the yard, etc...? If things have been this cordial thus far, and if you were the one who primarily wanted the child in the first place, I just wouldn't push. Accept what he can do and is willing to do, and find a way for that to be enough for right now. Let his relationship with the child evolve over time and see if the attachment there drives a desire for more steady contact. I don't think this is something that can/should be forced. Good luck.
