Shared responsibilities


Cross-posted on r/beyondthebump... Husband and I are not in a good place and will be starting counseling this week. I want to run by something he said to me for anecdotal evidence from you!My husband can count on one hand the number of times his given kiddo a bath by himself. Kiddo is 16 months. My husband is a helper. He will stand by and watch me do things, but won't take them on himself. Ex. He'll hold kiddos legs and distract him while changing a poopy diaper.In the midst of a discussion, I suggested he take on a few things, like bath time a few times a week. He said he doesn't know anyone who does it like that. He said that taking care of him is my responsibility and that I should, "Enjoy it while I can," because soon kiddo will want to spend all his time with dad. I was floored.Please give me your anecdotes of how you and your partner share responsibilities even if it's not balanced. I want to give him an idea of how people share responsibilities and that it's not just his job to play with the baby. For context, we both work outside the home. TIA. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2saENW9
