[quote=Anonymous]DH and I actually had different routines for all 3 kids. With the first baby he helped with some night times but not the majority. With DC2 he helped with diaper changes for almost all middle of the night feedings and with DC3 he was literally unable to wake up at all (which was kind of funny to me since I didn't really need help but could remember him popping up each time DC2 had woken up). I excused DH happily with DC3 since it was clear that he was always going to be involved and helpful, but I do see PPs points about not setting a trend to allow DH to be uninvolved. As long as you're clear on expectations and each parent is trying to do what they can to keep everything running smoothly, then I don't think worrying about exactly what you or DH are doing is too important. DH and I have figured out how to divide what needs to be done and try to keep things balanced but we don't worry too much if it's exactly 50/50.[/quote]
