Do you still consider it ‘leaving baby’ if they’re with their dad?

Personally I don’t because we live together and to me leaving her with her other parent isn’t the same as leaving her with like a family member. I still didn’t leave her alone with dad (because of my own anxiety 😂 ik he was perfectly capable but I didn’t wanna be away from her) until she was over 6 months and still havnt for longer than a couple days (shes 2 now). I do think It depends on the situation and the dad in question tho 🤷‍♀️ was just curious what other people thought

Absolutely not 🤣 he's the parent too. Half of the time I dont even check with my husband before making plans, I just tell him when I'm doing something and he's like OK cool bye

No dads / step dads should take a active role in upbringing

Hmm idk cause if my coworker ask where my daughter is I say “ I left her at home w her dad”. Ion see the difference whether we live tg or not cause the baby isn’t with me so it’s still considered leaving the baby. Maybe im interpreting what you’re trying to say wrong?

No. My partner is an active father. My son was 6 weeks the first time I was gone for more than just a few hours.

I consider it as leaving the baby because it is *me* leaving the baby. My husband is an amazing dad and I went for my first night away when baby was 3 months but *I* was still leaving the baby regardless of who she was with, makes sense in my head anyway! If we went away and the kids stayed at my MIL then it’s *we* left the baby 😂

I mean technically you're still leaving your baby, meaning they're not with you. My husband is a great father too and I don't havd any issues leaving him alone with our son, but up until 2 at least a baby still needs his/her mother the most. So it is kind of leaving the baby

By definition of the word leave yes I am leaving my kids if I leave then with dad. But no it isn't the same thing as if I were to get a babysitter (which I have never done) and if I were to go somewhere overnight they will always come with me as the stay at home parent instead of having dad miss work or have to pay someone we don't fully trust.
