[quote=Anonymous]I would be livid. Def have him take some paternity if you can. My DH didn't truly 'get' being a parent until he was home alone with the baby. He actually told work that he'd get all of his tasks done while on paternity bc how hard could watching an infant be? ;) He learned, which was way more effective than me lecturing. Also, you need to get over 'feeling bad' for these things. You all should be equal team members as parents. Asking for things you need from your partner is part of the marriage game. If you need time away from the baby, or adult conversation, or to feel like a priority, or anything else - you ask for it without the guilt! Men, I think, take what they need. Women feel the need to ask for it, and then we don't, and then we are resentful and guilt-ridden. Think and act like a man and take what you need. [/quote]
