[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to stereotype, but I've seen it often enough: many men just aren't that into babies. Once the kid hits 2 they are much more engaged. Sad, and stupid, but true.[/quote] This is such a double standard. I felt the same way--taking care of DS when he was a baby was drudgery. Of course I loved him, but I was not into it at all. Once he was over 2 I felt much more engaged. Same for my husband, but I was never given the luxury of just deciding I wanted to check out until DS turned 2 like my husband did. I was (and still am) the default parent, but it's so much better now that DS is 4. DH is also much better about playing with DS now, but just could not figure out how to play with him before 2yo. Since I didn't have a choice, I figured it out as I went along. It wasn't rocket science. Yes, I did try to explain how I felt to DH many times, but to no avail. [/quote]
