Anytime I ask my husband to watch our daughter he does a half ass job. Whenever she’s on my watch I am actively watching her and interacting with her. He never has to worry about her when she’s with me. If I am trying to get ready for the day, or do dishes, or cook... literally EVERY single time I ask him to watch her he’ll take her and put her in her pack n play which my daughter hates, so then it will lead to her screaming and crying until someone takes her out. I can’t relax because I don’t like hearing my baby cry. I constantly check on her while he’s “watching” her, because there’s been so many times when he was incharge of watching her and she has come close to hurting herself. For example...one time I guess the baby gate didn’t close all the way (we have one with a hinge, so it open and closes like a door) and she crawled passed it and crawled up half of the stairs!!!!! He didn’t even notice until I asked him if he had an eye on her and then he noticed and ran up and got her. Thank goodness she is a good crawler, but if she would have fell down those stairs, who knows what would have happened. When I am watching her I let her explore and roam around because she’s curious and I want her to explore, if she’s ever in danger, I’m RIGHT there to prevent anything from happening. Ever since the stair incident he just throws her in the pack n play. I just don’t understand why he can’t be more hands on with her, in my opinion this is such a fun age. She is SO curious and wants to learn about the world, he’s missing out on a lot bonding time I feel like. Everyone always comments on how much of a “mamas girl” my daughter is and I truly believe it’s because I am in a sense a “better parent.” I essentially am the one who takes care of her. It’s like 70% of the time it’s me, 15% is my husband, and then the rest is my incredible sitter! I know as a mother it’s mostly instincts, but I honestly feel like my husband doesn’t even try. He just always says that I “baby” her too much and that’s why she prefers me over him.. but I don’t believe there is such thing as “babying a baby,” there are some things I will let my daughter cry out...but to me it’s unacceptable to ignore her and put her in the pack n play knowing that she hates it, just so he can watch a show or play a game. Whenever I bring it up we just get into a big fight because we cannot agree on how to parent our daughter. We were both raised very differently. I had a rather good and wholesome childhood, and his was just absolutely terrible for most it. Im just so frustrated, it’s affecting our marriage A LOT... can anyone relate what I’m going through? 😣
