He always does baths, if he is home.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941252402623545564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402885377646924511.post-49640266808359968552011-12-18T11:17:20.597-05:002011-12-18T11:17:20.597-05:00My husband was great about feeding, clothing, and ...My husband was great about feeding, clothing, and diapering, but not so much bathing. Karina has really tangly hair, and getting them out takes finesse that he doesn't have. So if he does bathe her, it's only the basics and he doesn't mess with the tangles. So I usually do it. Other than that, he's pretty good.dannyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184111988053063451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402885377646924511.post-16683688294129117572011-12-16T21:47:58.769-05:002011-12-16T21:47:58.769-05:00josh is the best dad. you lucked out, girl!josh is the best dad. you lucked out, girl!nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466431476300341213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402885377646924511.post-86754323297648964182011-12-16T17:02:30.569-05:002011-12-16T17:02:30.569-05:00Um...there is no way in hell my husband isn't ...Um...there is no way in hell my husband isn't going to help with feedings, baths, diapers, etc. Although I'm lucky because he WANTS to help. Obviously most of it will fall to me because I'll be a SAHM. But if daddy's home, daddy's helping out!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124087178562248715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402885377646924511.post-50587042681454182862011-12-16T09:43:17.186-05:002011-12-16T09:43:17.186-05:00Ever since I had my first, who is 11 now, I work w...Ever since I had my first, who is 11 now, I work weekends and am home all week. You wouldn't believe how many people would ask me how my husband feels about "babysitting" the kids and not getting to have a weekend off. Are you freaking kiding me?!<br />I totally agree with you. Why women allow the men to get away with it is beyond me. And no, my hubby never thought of it as "babysitting", he actually enjoys his time with the kids alone. <br />I don't watch reality tv, but one time came across some random show and caught a few minutes. The kids were 5 and 3, and the mom was fretting about taking a half day at the spa because the husband hadd never been alone with the kids or more than an hour or so. To me, that is nuts.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987444437659867827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402885377646924511.post-51540643089470508992011-12-16T08:59:58.908-05:002011-12-16T08:59:58.908-05:00You are lucky.

Just like you said, there are a lot of dads who just aren't as actively involved as your hubs is. <br /><br />In my case, I pretty much wanted to do it all, but when I asked, he would take over. Usually he needed a lot of direction, but I guess that was to be expected. ;)Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.com
