[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. I'm much happier being a partner, rather than a mother, to DH. [/quote]

Op here. Thanks for understanding.  I feel like so many people need to view men as equals from the beginning. You want an equal, be an equal,  treat him as an equal.

If you trash talk your husband's competence don't be surprised when he lives up to your expectations. [/quote]

Nobody starts out trash talking their DH’s competence. They earn it by not acting remotely like equals. [/quote]

Do you make sure they get equal time with the newborn?[/quote]

My DH was plainly capable of stepping and deciding for himself if he wanted to change diapers, feed DC, etc. Just as he is plainly capable of doing many other household chores. Sometimes he does, sometimes I have to treat him like a kid and make him. It's not my role to force him to choose when he's going to act like an equal or not.  (And FTR, most of the time he does so I'm not complaining about my DH.)[/quote]
