[quote=Anonymous]Op my husband was like this too. Amazing husband and amazing uncle to small children when we met and as we were dating. It was one of the things you file in the back of your mind as “good dad material.” Lo and behold, our baby is born and it’s like he has every excuse in the book to be out of the house. Has to buy lightbulbs, has to change lightbulbs, has to replace smoke alarms, multiple trips to the grocery store to pick up one thing at a time. I realized that 1. He was scared to death of the baby and thought I had some natural magical ability that he didn’t have, and 2. Some sort of weird, ancient “hunting” instinct kicked in where he was doing everything he knew how to do to keep his new little family “safe.” As the baby got less fragile in his mind he engaged much more. Now he’s a great dad. So there’s hope OP. But I felt the same as you. I was NOT expecting his reaction to the baby. [/quote]
