Partners helping make decisions

Jennifer

I’m 17 weeks now so it’s time that we start making decisions for the baby: what type of car seat do we want, stroller, etc, and I’ve just starting touring day cares. My husband acts very ambivalent towards it all and doesn’t have an opinion one way or the way and it’s not even on his radar! This is putting all of the stress on me as I know these things need to be decided in the next couple months but I just can’t get him interested in helping with decisions! I even toured a daycare by myself and he didn’t ask how it was or even look at the brochures I brought home for him. When I tried to talk about it, he didn’t engage in the conversation and went to do something else. I understand he works full time and is in his last semester of college before graduation, but I’m also working full time and taking graduate classes online, so we both have the same things on our plate!

He’s very loving during the pregnancy and likes to rub my belly and talk about the baby but he isn’t even trying to help make any future decisions about the baby. How did you guys get your partners involved in baby’s decisions?
