[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whining about the low expectations we have for men does nothing to help OP. Many men suck at taking care of infants. Should you just up and divorce a man when he fails to be a good father in that first year? I mean that is fair. But ultimately it is up to each person to decide what they can put up with, and for many women it is worthwhile to figure out strategies to improve the situation (like better communication, even if it shouldn't be needed), because many men do improve. Even if they totally suck initially.[/quote] I'm a mom and I sucked at taking care of an infant. I got as much support as I could (grandmas, nanny, eventually daycare, babysitters). But I'm eternally grateful that my DH stood by me and sucked it up through the "unskilled" part. [/quote]
