Fortunately, my husband (although he does travel 25% of the time) is 100% partner when he's home. I already see the positive impact it's had on our kids to have two involved parents. It's a great feeling, isn't it? Totally true! Fortunately, my husband (although he does travel 25% of the time) is 100% partner when he’s home.

My husband is willing to do the 3 am thing, but it's more work to get him to wake up than it is to just go take care of the kid myself! Well said!!

How many times have I had this same conversation with my husband? It doesn't seem fair that he's "the Fun one" when I'm home entertaining her all day every day. What are you going to do. I too have said, "Well, I'm the one she calls for when she's hurt or scared." My husband took the same stance as your husband. I'm happy that she loves him and wants him to be her fun time guy. Otherwise I'd never be able to blog. HA HA HAHA HA! Thanks for stopping back by my blog. Wish I could share some of the strawberries with you. Oh, my!
