Hey fellow parents!
I would like some other parents opinion about an issue before I take it up
with my husband.
We have a very-soon-to-be one year old son. When he's alone with me,
everythin is just fine. We play together, but when I need to get something
done or just want to sit back for a minute, it's no big deal to DS and he
goes about playing independently.
My husband, on the other hand, constantly picks DS up at any little
whimper... always has. My husband has difficulty getting anything done when
he's alone with my son. Anytime we're all together, my husband HAS TO hand
DS off to me so he can get things done, yet I'm able to get the same things
done without having to rely on DH. Lately, this has even become a problem as
DS cries the whole time that I have him when DH is home now. It's so
frustrating!
Some of it may be that he has a different style, some of it may be that he does
different kinds of things around the house (if he does). For example, as a
single mother from the beginning, I found that could do light housework with
baby on hip or on the floor, but for certain tasks, especially outside tasks
like trimming hedges and inside tasks with tools down on the floor, I needed a
crawling or toddling-age baby to be napping. Those may be the kind of tasks
your husband tends to be the one doing.
Just something to consider.
Banty
