[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is very hands on. It kind of annoys me when he has all 3 kids people compliment and think it is such an accomplishment. I have all 3 kids majority of the time. If he has them while I go to the bathroom or get food, women will comment all the time.

Maybe the toddler got new shoes. Airplanes are just a bad situation. I have observed dads yelling at crying kid to sit down. That isn’t much more helpful.[/quote]

Ha! This is so my DH. He is great with our kids (he’s a pediatrician and pretty amazing with kids in general). However, because of his shift work, I have all 3 of ours about 10x more than he does. (If I’m working — normal 8-7 type hours — our nanny is there except for an hour or two on the margins; he often works overnights and weekends, so when it’s just me there’s no nanny.) When I have all 3, I occasionally get sympathetic clucks or people saying they remember those days; usually when I’m wearing/pushing all 3 or pushing 2 and trying to corral the oldest on her scooter. But DH? Anytime he has all 3 anywhere for any amount of time doing anything he gets constant compliments. It’s insane![/quote]
