[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly he sounds like a jerk--you are still physically recovering. Your needs come first, then the babies you created, then him. [/quote]

He is not a jerk.  He helps her and she was wrong to cancel date night.  OP, do you even thank him for what he does to help?  Probably not. Maybe this would be a Start![/quote]

[b]They are his kids[/b] too. He is not "helping" it is his responsibility. [/quote]

Bolding for emphasis. He is not "helping" he is PARENTING. It's HARD. It's NOT FUN, its WORK. Anyone who takes leave from work after a baby is born expecting a vacation is going to get their a$$ kicked cause parenting is not a vacation. Especially with twins!

+1  FFS.. does he say thank you to her for birthing his babies and carrying for them? No? Because he expects that of her, but if he *helps* take care of their babies, then he's doing her a favor.   Goes to show.. our society is still misogynistic, and we've along way to go.

PSA to men: don't expect a thank you for for every little thing doing your part in parenting your own children.  You are not doing your wives a favor. You are being a parent. It's expected of you.

I don't see men telling other men to thank their wives every single day for taking care of the kids, or doing house chores. Why is that? Oh, that's right, because it's expected of the mom/wife, but not the dads/husbands. Wow.[/quote]
