Does your partner change diapers?

Question

Just curious. My husband does overnight diaper changes. Someone acted like he needed a gold medal for it

Answer

That person needs a slap!

Why does he get a gold medal for doing something a parent should do.

Answer

Mine has gotten better. I stay home and he works so I get that the taking care of the house/ kids is more “my job” but when I talked to him I explained how I felt he wasn’t helping me enough with the baby and I feel like I’m trying to make dinner, do laundry and feed the baby at the same time and I need help. I told him I get that when he’s home he wants to relax but I don’t get a break. I’m 24/7 mom so kid wakes up sick it’s me baby needs fed overnight it’s me I need him to help out the few hours between him being home and bedtime. Since that he has been much more helpful. But yes I agree some people think guys need all these awards and praise for helping care for something they helped make.. like no. It’s your child. You need to help take care of it.

Answer

It's part of being a parent,  I wouldn't be all crazy and excited because my husband is doing his part..I mean,  we made a baby together so... but I guess so many men don't do it, so it's a big deal for some.

Answer

If he didn’t, I wouldn’t be with him. We are both parents and we are both responsible for taking care of our child. I would never be with a man who doesn’t even do the bare minimal of taking care of their child. 
I can’t stand people who praise dads for doing something they are supposed to do and doing the bare minimal as a parent. It’s ridiculous. I don’t get praise for being a mom, moms get criticized and judged on damn near everything.

Answer

Yep. My husband also does all overnight diaper changes. I breastfeed so I’m always up feeding and he does the diaper changes.

Answer

He doesn’t do overnight but he takes her in the mornings to let me catch up on sleep so he does then and then throughout the day if I ask.

Answer

It doesn't help that previous generations set the bar so low.

Answer

I feel so bad for the women who said no!

Answer

He doesn't do overnight anything since he works and I do not, but he changes diapers when he's home. we try to split things 50/50 when we are both home.

Answer

My husband was VERY reluctant with diapers. For such a big strong man he’s very easily squeamish and would almost throw up at the sight of a poopy diaper 🙄 thankfully he’s gotten a lot better but has never done a night Time diaper, mostly because I’m a SAHM and he works 12 hours a day so I didn’t mind doing all of the night time stuff. I’m sure it will be the same with the next baby.
