[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it was a frank conversation to my H that you are also a parent just like me. We are equal. I do not want to delegate tasks day and night. Stop asking if something needs to be done and just think for yourself what needs to be done- laundry, washing bottles, changing diapers, meal prep, take out dirty diapers, restock nursery, etc. This is life now and I'm figuring it out and you need to as well.[/quote]

This is the only answer. The fact that OP's husband is doing this...

[quote]He follows me around several times a day asking if I need help, and will just stand or sit there and watch to see if I need help or if I want him to do anything.[/quote]

...is the issue. He's not just crowding OP. He's asking him (unintentionally) to manage him. It's too much.

This is all understandable. It's his first baby too and he's probably terrified he's going to break the kid. But many men need a push to find their confidence. This can be done gently and lovingly. But dude's gotta find his way.[/quote]
