[quote=Anonymous]I've known quite a few dads who weren't into their kids until they were a bit older, could talk, play sports with dad, run errands with dad, liked to watch movies, play legos, whatever. Some guys just don't like babies or toddlers.

As a female I was surprised at how much I didn't enjoy toddlers. I was a nanny throughout college and LOVED playing games, playgrounds and playing pretend. But with my own kids it was so so hard. I had 3 kids, struggled with being either pregnant or nursing the new baby nonstop and just didn't want to run around a playground (or couldn't!). They fought nonstop when I wanted to play cards or board games. Idk just something I've struggled with and I have wonderful kids.

DH on the other hand struggled with babies (they breastfed and were lumps). He adored them, but not to much to do with them. He absolutely loved playing with them as toddlers. Spent hours playing hide and go seek outside, playground fun, hiking, legos, magnatiles, marble runs, massive tents in my family room.

I wouldn't give up on your spouse. Plus, is a stepdad going to love your kids more than your spouse?! maybe 10% of stepdads are wonderful and super involved parents of step kids. [/quote]
