I’m curious, is he just not an involved dad at all? I’m sorry to hear that he would have complained or felt neglected. I think having time off when a baby is born is important for bonding–for both parents. I know it helped me tremendously.

While I totally agree his all encompassing statements are not accurate, I personally would have struggled with my husband having paternity leave. I have a 2 1/2 year old and 4 month old. I would have LOVED him to jump in and help with diapers, dinner, and laundry the 3 days he had off! He would have spent his time whining about the crying, watching TV, and feeling neglected. He is severely lacking in desire to help with household duties and raising babies (he . Maybe if he had a month or 2 to adjust to the idea, he would? But I think the option should be there. Unfortunately, I think there are not many men that would use the leave the way they should.

I mean, it WAS one-handed…I wanna know what other diaper-changing tricks he can do. Can he change a diaper blind-folded? What about from across the room? DOES HE HAVE SPECIAL SKILLS the rest of us don’t have??

Change a diaper in 2 minutes?! Holy cow! someone should slow that speed demon down! If it takes you two minutes to change a diaper, how long are you taking to do everything else? No wonder your wife wanted you out of the way.
