MY baby
Apologies in advance because this ended up being a bit of a rant...
My husband works hard so he doesn’t get to spend a lot of time with our daughter. The few moments he is home while she’s awake I feel like I have to encourage him to interact with her. He hardly ever offers to do something with her or even ask to hold her, I always have to offer him to hold her, or suggest he does bath time, or to talk with her when she’s happily cooing in her bouncer and he’s next to her on his phone. It’s like he doesn’t have a clue what to do. A couple of weeks ago I noticed he didn’t even give her a goodnight kiss when I said I was going to take her to bed. He just said “okay”. And when he does get involved he does the wrong thing or at the wrong time. I know that’s as much my problem as his, because I’ve gotten so used to doing things my way. Anyway, this has made me feel like our daughter is more MINE then OURS, and I know that’s wrong and I’m probably being overprotective but I just can’t imagine leaving her with him for more than a couple of hours... is that normal?
