[quote=Anonymous]15 years ago DH took a week when our son was born and then took 8 weeks when I went back to work full time. Our nanny started when DH went back to work. It helped delay nanny costs a bit and gave us that extra time with him. But most importantly it gave my FH and my son time alone. By the end of that time they were firmly bonded, and they still are. And I knew, after DH having cared for him alone for 8 weeks, that he was a fully capable and participating parent. That made me catch myself when I started to assume my way of doing things was better than DH’s, and recognize it was just different. It was a tremendous source of reassurance.[/quote]
