[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]He's not just crowding OP. He's asking him (unintentionally) to manage him. It's too much.[/b]

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]

This! He's trying to help, yes, but he also wants his wife to coordinate. It's annoying.[/quote]
