[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes it's a thing. that dads do , shouldn't that be obvious due to it being something he's declinign?

Honestly, this is just another thing that he's been resistant to about the baby.  He didn't want to read any pregnancy or parenting books. He did finally look at some websites.  He didn't see the need to set up a nursery. I did most of the selection for the registry. The research on  cribs, nursery colors, car seats, feeding,  etc.

The thing is he swears he's always wanted, kids. Cried when he found we were expecting, called everyone.

She's  supposed to be here in less than a week and he's all non chalant about it and now the no skin to skin thing is bugging me

My DH did skin to skin - not right away but on the second day in the hospital when he was holding her. But he was like your DH for the rest of the stuff and I preferred it. I picked the nursery theme and colors. He painted. He came with me to pick out crib but I picked it. I made the registry. He could add stuff if he wanted but I made sure what I liked and researched was on there. I like being in charge and this way I did not have to compromise on the things I wanted. Easier for everyone.

Even with DD3, when he knows what he likes with kid gear and what he hates - we are currently in a disagreement about water wipes versus pampers wipes - he defers to me. It's the best.[/quote]
