[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted above. Seeing everyone respond similarly, yes #1 is the hardest. But if you don’t get through that worst part between 1 and 2.... then YES #2 will only get harder. So, for the OP of that other post, #2 was breaking them because they didn’t adapt after the difficulty of #1[/quote] Adding on to this, I have heard people say that moms’ lives change with #1 and dads’ lives change with #2 (because mom is occupied with #2 so dad has to actually engage with #1). For us, there was never a point where I was taking on more than my share of childcare, even where had just one. I am a SAHM, so obviously during the workday, I am the one who is handling the kids, but when DH is home he has always done his share of the work. There’s never been the sense that I am still the primary parent (or primary housekeeper) when he’s at home. So there wasn’t that sudden loss of freedom for him that seems to happen for some other dudes. [/quote]
