[quote=Anonymous]Agree with planning to be out of the house for a couple hours on the weekend. Get together with friends, find an exercise class you want to take, whatever. Get him used to being 100% on. We found it helpful for certain realms of childcare to be 100% DH's area. From very early on, baths became his area of expertise. When, where, how, having the right supplies was all on him until the kids were old enough to bathe alone. Also, when giving advice to DH on dealing with the baby, I tried really hard to not criticize or tell him exactly what to do. I generally phrased it as "X works for me, but feel free to try what makes sense to you". He said he appreciated that. It's fine for the baby to learn two different styles. You don't have to both do it the same way.[/quote]
