When it's a work day, my husband is getting better at sitting with our son while I finish dishing up dinner or if I need just a minute before we eat. Most of that part of the night is spent with him taking his time in the bathroom and showering, though. Usually by the time dinner and his bathroom time is done, our son is finishing up his last little nap of the night. When Im fully putting our son down for the first night stretch, my husband will get the room, my snacks, and my water completely ready and make sure I have everything within reach. He also fully takes care of the dogs by himself aside from me walking them once during the day while he works.

Every morning, he's in charge of starting the coffee and making me a cup before he leaves while I nurse the baby.

Nights have been a fight for a long time, but he's finally starting to get it. So this is new, but during the night I will wake him up when our son does if I need to go to the bathroom, if our son needs changed, or if its been a decent stretch and I need to pump. He does most of the night changes now then makes sure I dont need anything before going back to sleep while I breastfeed and rock the baby back to sleep.

My baby daddy and I have it to where if I ask he’ll just do whatever I ask of him, but for the most part, I don’t have to even ask anymore. He knows what to do now (she’s almost 2). He didn’t always live with us; we split for a while and I lived with my mom so he lost track of how to care for her on a daily basis, but now that we’re together again he’s got it down again. Pretty quickly too. Funniest thing to me was he thought she still needed baths every 3 days 🥴😂 I was like “nooooo sir, she gets messy every day now. Daily baths please” 😭🙌🏾 he felt bad about not knowing but I reassured him it was only because he was away.
