AMEN**** my boyfriend neverhelps. he only get 1 day off aweek so im with addison 24/7. but sometimes he helps. but i think they dont understand how hard it really is for us. id much rather do what hes doing. getting out of the house and going to work...talking to prople who dont spit up on you!!!j/k

my husband was best (so far anyway) the first few days after our daughter was born, now i have to bug him to do anything with her so what if he worked all day and i stay at home with her, she needs to know who he is and she actually wont go to sleep as good if she doesnt have time with him but i need a few moments to myself too

I know I am going to loose favor with the board, but, I agree with I dont blame him. (to a certain degree) I am home with my 4 wk old son while my husband works and he then takes the weekend shift. I do not personally think that it is fair, but because I am extremely tired by the end of the week I agree to it. My husband works all week and never gets time off. When he comes home he takes over with my son because he knows that I am tired and because he misses him. Then he has him on the weekends day and nights so that I can get things done outside of the house. One tip I would have for the women whose husband does not do anything is to not chastise your husband if does something with your child that you do not do. Let him take care of the child to the best of his ability. Do not take the baby from him when it is crying, encourage him to try different methods of getting the baby to stop. I think sometimes SOME women can be so much in control of their households that they do not allow their husbands to live. Now if your husband is just refusing to take care of the child, you need to have a serious heart to heart with him and let him know how hurt you are.

im sooo sorry for you. my husband is wonderful with our daughter. i have her all day so when he comes home he washes the bottles and takes over for me. he pays attention to every detail of our daughter. hes absoutly perfect!! they're like best buds!

I am sorry to say but there are way too many men out there who are like your husband. I got to stay at home with my baby for his 1st 11 months - very lucky. then I went back to work. My husband pretty much has a few half-a** hobbies, he tickles my son a lot, he wil occa__sionally pitch in but I: pay the bills, make dinner, give my little boy a bath (he is 2), do laundry, grocery shop, work 40 hours, pack my boy's lunch, make my little boy dinner, put him to bed 95% of the time, clean the house, clean the bathrooms...oh yeah - did I mention I work full-time. It is overwhelming and at times realy too much to handle. It makes me just "Like" him. I do try to remember that many people have it way worse than I do. My little boy is the love of my life and looking in his eyes - I guess it is the hardship moms have to take. We really are the strongest.

have you ever told your husband how you felt? i personally can not see myself doing all the work without letting my husband know how i felt.

My husband and I just had a fight about this about 2 minutes ago. On the weekends, he'll sit and play on his computer with the baby on his lap or in her swing - if she starts to cry, he won't even glance at her, he expects me to get up and take care of her. He says it's because he works 12 hour days 5 days a week. WTF??? I work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!!!!!

Wow, I am very thankful my husband is such a great help to me. I am so sorry to hear about all you have to go through. I would sit down and talk to my husband and tell him how you feel. Likely it would go in one ear and go out the next...lol. At least you would get it off your chest. Good luck Ladies

tell him babies and toddlers dehydrate very very fast . Is he really not playing his part in the family role ? and would he like to give more to bond with the little one and circ_mstances just don't warrant it ?
