[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is very involved with the kids but like you, OP, most of my friends’ husbands are not very hands on dads. I learned early on not to make it sound like I’m bragging about my husband when I talk to my friends because early on i just assumed all their husbands also got up with babies in the night, changed diapers, bathed baby, took baby to Dr. Appts, packed the diaper bag for an outing, took baby on solo outings, etc etc. I quickly learned that most dads I knew didn’t do that stuff and were pretty clueless about babies or baby care stuff. Some of the dads are more involved now that kids are older but some are still pretty clueless and hands off w their kids. Makes me appreciate my husband so much more but also makes me sad/angry that so many men don’t do more for their kids and expect their wives to do it all.[/quote]

OP here. This. I was shocked because I assumed that’s what both parents do and my friends husbands don’t do much of these. [/quote]

Let’s get excited when you’re both actually back at work and sharing it, shall we? I did way more when my kids were babies and my husband does way more now. I am really glad I didn’t bean count like this.[/quote]

OP here. I will to be going back to work. I’m taking off a couple of years to stay home with our son and possibly a second child. [/quote]

Sure you will.  [/quote]
