[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man! Agree! Newborndom isn’t time for feminist theoretical fights or “should”s just because. It’s a time to keep your ship afloat together, however best that works. For us, three kids later, nursing + changing our kiddos was easier for me to do as I was already up. Let the poor man sleep. He’d then take our babes at 5:30 am after I’d nursed and let me sleep for 2-3 hours. For us, this worked well. And it kept him ok at work, and a good, well rested adult in our house for the other kids. Never saw the point in making him get up just to change a diaper so he could experience some pain too. Be a team. Same guy now whisks our early risers to donuts to let me sleep in on Saturdays on occasion (ie at least once a month) figure it out for your marriage - not as a points of pain competition.

Wow, your DH lets you sleep in [i]once a month[/i]? And props to him, doing the easiest thing ever (taking out for donuts) rather than, like, making a special breakfast at home like most moms would do.

Man, some of you women have such low expectation of your DHs, that crumbs look like feasts![/quote]
