Get rid of him now
The baby is not too small to be with dad for a few hours. This sounds like a his problem… I’m so sorry your partner isn’t supporting you doing this.
I get the same thing from my husband I can't go anywhere without the baby or him take the baby alone bc what if she cries.. ok be her dad and figure it out.....
Too small???? Is the baby borrowed or something? See this is the shit that pisses me off *commence rant* “dads” only wants to be dads for the cute and easy shit, but fear being a parent … meanwhile first time moms do all of it without any direction… not to mention moms of multiples!! The dads change the occasional diaper, give the occasional bottle but can’t handle the baby alone until he’s bigger?????? Tell him you can’t handle him either… tell him unfortunately he must stay home at all times because you fear handling the small baby…. Watch his tune change… * end rant* I’m sorry but put your foot down and take your evening… wtf is that…
@Bobbi 😒😒😒😒 what if she cries??? Ask him to check the return policy on the receipt and walk out…
My baby is 10 weeks and my husband watches him by himself 2 days a week because of work schedules and he started at 8 weeks
That’s what I said … like how come he has an option to choose, he just don’t want to struggle and the worst part is that I don’t have family here to support me either. Should I just leave the baby with him and leave? I start feeling doubtful and bad for wanting to leave my baby
You better leave the baby with him and enjoy your time off! Make sure to also have your phone on silent or so, so that he can’t harass you while you’re out. We moms have to figure out how to take care of our LO, it’s not something we just know when they’re born. Dads are capable of learning, too. If he can’t watch his own child for a couple hours he can’t leave the house alone anymore either 🤷🏻♀️
don’t let him use weaponized incompetence to get out of watching HIS child. Tell him tough shit, suck it up, be a dad. Caring for the child shouldn’t solely fall on you.
If he’s to small now he’ll be to big later. It’s always gonna be some type of excuse to get out of parenting his own child. I hate men like this. Our baby was the first baby my husband has ever held. He had never changed a diaper or fed a baby till I had ours now he’s a pro. She’s 3 months old when he is home he feeds her 9/10 and I do her diapers. He will watch her if I have to do anything. I legit left him alone with her at a week old cuz my best friend had her baby shower n I didn’t want to miss it. I didn’t last that long due to pain (c section) but he would have watched her for however long I needed. He’s 26 I’m 32 so he is young but capable u need to tell your s/o to step tf up
Girl get a new one, cause my husband loves watching our baby, he completely takes over when he’s off and he watches her while I work, hang with my friends, get my hair done, etc. I don’t ask and neither should you, you didn’t impregnate yourself, he has to man up and figure it out, leave while he’s taking a nap or some and turn your phone off and let the baby wake him
I’ve never asked my husband to watch our daughter, the first time he watched her alone I left while he was sleep, I texted him I went to the store and he seen it when he woke up to a crying baby, and I then not answered the phone expect the first call to say I see him and her in a few hours and I didn’t tell him how to do anything because no one taught me I had to figure it out and then when I got home anything he did wrong I corrected and shown him the right way which he did nothing wrong cause babies act more behaved when we not around sometimes, so after he changed her, and fed her she slept till I got home and wanted to stay up all night with me💀 but at least I got to go out and spend time with me
Oh noo girl im sorry your going thru that. That is super shitty. But id definitely be pissed. My baby was 6 weeks and my fiance stayed with him so i could go to the last night of Halloween horror nights with my friend cus he knew how bad i wanted to go this year. Being a mom isnt our whole identity’s & we are allowed to go find ourselves again! Girl if i knew you, id babysit for you!
I think it depends on the baby. My son was very attached to breastfeeding/didn’t take to bottles well and if I left for even 20 minutes there was a good chance he would just scream and cry for 15 which was very hard on my husband. I felt bad putting him in that situation so didn’t go out. My daughter already at 2 months seems happier/less clingy and I’d feel more comfortable leaving her for longer stretches. But max I’ve been away from her has been an hour

There are some factors at play here. But first of all, HE CANNOT REFUSE to be with his own child without you being present, he is a PARENT not a sperm donor🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ He will need some pointers though, lik literally TEACH him all about the baby, how and when he likes to be put down to sleep, how much to feed, when to burp, when to watch out for hunger vs tired vs colicy cries(if applicable), how to rock and diaper change. IF he doesnt already know all this. You GOTTA leave him with his dad this one time and see how it goes. Every baby IS different. With my first, i would never have DARED to leave him with his dad, he was a very unhappy(screamed whenever his eyes were open) baby. Even my husband didnt dare go anywhere after work. We were both JUST surviving. But with our baby now, i leave the baby with him to take our toddler out all the time. Never been an issue. I tell him what to do and do check in every hour or so.
??? Too small??? That’s his baby too. What a coward.
