[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all (except the obviously male troll who I'm sure has no children). He is helpful, and does a lot FOR the baby, he is just mentally checked out. Doesn't really seem interested in bigger picture baby stuff, eg her persistent eating issues. I feel like all of the worry and responsibility falls on my shoulders while he just checks the box of "I changed 6 diapers today so I did my part, now I can go back to twitter". He is also a workaholic so that doesn't help. Ironically he was the one who was much more excited and ready to have kids and always talked about wanting three or four. Now we are one and done. I think at the end of the day he just has some selfish tendencies and is shell shocked- he just didn't understand quite how hard it would be. I was very, very nervous about motherhood and so my expectations were so low I've been pleasantly surprised. He is trying, I'm just so worried it will never click for him and he'll be one of those men who ignores their kid it's whole life.[/quote]

I think things will probably get better, given what you're saying.  Have you asked him in a non-confrontational way what's going on in his brain?  [/quote]
