I love my husband and bless him, he does try to help. However, if Iām not there to tell him each individual thing then he doesnāt do it.
I asked him to feed our baby porridge this morning, he did that, then got him out of his chair. I asked if he gave him water, no. I asked if he gave him his vitamins, no.
Is it me or are they sometimes useless š do I have to tell you each individual step? Does anyone elseās husband do this?

Every Husband in the history of Husbands does this.Once I give my Husband detailed instructions he can usually repeat by himself next time š I do wonder what they would say about us if there was a Peanut app for Dads š
itās hilarious isnāt it š I even said to him āwe need to make sure we give the baby his vitaminsā - 20 mins later - poof! Forgotten! I know, Iād love to hear what he would say about me, probably āshe got annoyed over waterā š

Same. Even the most āemancipatedā couples I know who try to split the job as much as possible still end up being in this situation. It seems universal that we need to tell them what to do. A bit like once I tell him once (or twice) he gets it, but I need to tell him everything in great detail first š
