[quote=Anonymous]+1 to 13:33, was just about to post the same.  Make sure your husband has alone in-charge time with baby early on, there is no substitute for it.  Honestly, in some sense, I think it's unfair to expect men to 'get it' if they don't get the chance to fly solo.

But it sounds like there's some groundwork to start on now.  Is he involved in planning and prep for the baby?  If not, change that.  Divide and conquer might work here, so he has some areas he's totally in charge of.

I really like the idea of starting to ask a question back when you get a question assuming you're taking care of something - like dinner.

Look, some women genuinely love to be the in-control supermom their whole lives.  Certainly some on this thread reflect that.  But from your OP, that doesn't sound like what you want.  I also think some women embrace a traditional role early in a relationship or with a new baby, and later after a couple years the novelty wears off and the grind sets in.  As they say, try to begin as you mean to go on.

Good luck to you!  Please know that plenty of men do step up.[/quote]
