Yeah dad's can be on some next level 😅 the way my hubby plays with our son is very "turn down for what?" kind of intensity, but honestly my little guy loves it. When he needs to ACTUALLY turn down he just runs over to me lol
lol sounds like a dad yep.
I would get overstimulated 😂😭 my mans the same he has the tv blasting, his phone video blasting, and 2 or 3 toys going. It makes me want to scream 😂
@Sarah I do sometimes need to leave the room because it's too much. Especially when he starts whistling on top of everything. Hurts my ears... baby sometimes smiles though, so who knows
If you whistle in the house you won’t have any money
@Ayten I also heard the superstition that someone will die in the room you whistle in? Vaguely remember it maybe having something to do with how people dealt with fires in theatres before fire alarms, of someone whistled it meant get out!
I bought some blowing bubbles for my husband to play with baby when he's out of ideas. I also tell him to put Miss Rachel on you tube or show her singing book and explain what is on each page. He ends up lifting her up and making her airplane which she loves 🤣 He only has her for 30 minutes maximum at a time though when I am going for a shower/bath
My man will usually sit with baby in the morning so I can get a little extra stretch of sleep in, when I say this man’s idea of watching baby is blasting cocomelon while also having his own phone(s) blasting god know what news channel or TikTok or other plus having toys splayed all around that shit gets me mad overstimulated 😅😅😅😅
@Kat this is exactly it! And on top of that I often have to remind him to actually watch her and not just be on the phone, look out the window or mindlessly whistle while baby is lying on her mat desperate for attention and silence. Honestly, I just went in saying I was just gonna grab a coffee and then take a shower and three toys were playing, husband was across the room spacing out, and baby was close to tears. When I asked him if he was alright, he said "oh, I'm watching the baby, yes let me get on that" and started whistling at her...
I know it’s not funny as it can be so frustrating but I had to have a little giggle at your post as my boyfriend does the same switches god knows how many different toys on at the same time 😂I think it’s a man thing xx
When I’m overstimulated whistling sends me over the edge so I get that 😭😂
@Kat why do all men watch videos on their phone at a blasting volume?! I don’t understand 😂😭
What’s his obsession with whistling? And why does he think a baby would like it? Also why doesn’t he listen 😂 he’s making me mad and nothing to do with me haha
@Rebekah haha, thank you. Yes! And I have no idea to all your questions
Dad’s just play different 😂 Hopefully he’ll catch on more and more. I would model what you’re saying (nonchalantly when he’s around) and maybe when he sees for himself how the baby responds and reacts positively, he’ll make changes to his methods. Maybe he’s just determined to make it work his way, but hopefully he’ll realize it’s not working at this stage. I’m sure the baby will appreciate his different style of playing one day…my daughter picks me for certain games/activities, and picks her dad for others, because we play differently with her!
