bf/bd/husbands

Anyone else feel like they are not as helpful as u thought they would be? I look forward to my bf coming home everyday to give me a little relief but I'm always dissapointed. Don't get me wrong he does help just not as much as I thought he would.  He always gives her to me as soon as she starts to cry if she doesn't stop within a min or two. And I feel bad for her because he can never get her to stop crying. Its like all she wants is me. and I do the same thing he's doing but it doesnt work for him. Maybe he's not patient enough idk..

Omg I'm going threw the same thing. When my husband comes home he plays with her but when she had enough she cries and he panics and give her to me. She is a mummies girl cause she knows mummies does it all. He is a great father but since i guess its are first he doesn't know what to do so i tell him how to do things and he gets mad -__-.  And his thing about changing diapers is he is scared he might hurt her smh. I thought he would be more helpful but he still doesn't know how to take care of her. He olny know how to play with her. But yeah sorry so long just gets me upset.

Hide in the bathroom lol. Seriously... it helps! My bubs is a total mommys boy, but whenever I have to use the RR I pass him over to hubby... who holds him until I come out 10-15mins later - I totally blame it on "still healing" when all Im doing is playing on my phone lol. Anyway, bubs is A LOT better with hubby now because of it so give that a shot lol
