[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accept it. He sounds great, but he is a dude. They aren’t that warm fuzzy, but he adores those babies as much as you do. [/quote] +1 He sounds like a normal guy. If you wanted a partner who would research parenting issues and get in the weeds on homework and such, you perhaps should have sought out a lesbian. [/quote] +2. Plus some/many men grow up in families where the mother is the glue and go to parent for emotional support and more warm fuzzy family stuff. So that is the role they expect is normal. Given how many positive things you say about your husband (feeding, bathing, sports game etc) it sounds like he's more involved than quite a few fathers I know. I think its ok for you to encourage more bonding time, but don't hang your expectations from your father on him. Play to his strengths rather than pick on your perceived weaknesses.[/quote]
