Once I asked him to do certain things I felt less resentful of the things I had to do. Young babies are hard- there isn't much you can do with them besides sit, rock, walk with them, etc. so it is easy to see how men can seem kind of inept. But once Mia starts to get a little older- I'd say about five or six months old- she will develop this little personality and will better be able to interact with your husband. Then, beware, there will be no separating the two!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794944.post-22687614956097112272007-07-30T12:37:00.000-05:002007-07-30T12:37:00.000-05:00Stumbled across your bloggings - Advice from one w...Stumbled across your bloggings - Advice from one who has children - you have to just put the baby in his lap and inform him that you are going off to do XYZ. And yes - the baby may cry and yes - he might not get it right the first time, but you have to let go of the reins and let him find his way. This is the only way he can truly bond with your beautiful bundle of joy and learn how to be a parent. If you don't expect him to help, then he won't. If you assume he will, he doesn't have a choice and soon he will come to love being a caretaker just as much as you. Us Moms tend to get comfy in the fact that we "know" that this cry means she's hungry and that cray means a diaper change, while the dads are left in the dark. We have to learn to relinquish some of that control in order for them to find their own way thru this crazy parenting world! You can't "talk" to him about helping more - you have to just hand the baby over and let him do it - trust me on this - you will both be glad that you did! <BR/>Good Luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
