Well, letting go of my household control is tougher than I imagined. Stay-at-home parenting requires micromanaging, and I’ve been doing it mostly on my own for eight years. Only now, it feels like I have one more person to manage: a husband who has little idea of what goes into the day of a stay-at-home parent with two kids in school and a new baby.
We don’t see eye-to-eye on our daily routine, either. He’s a morning person who gets up before the kids and who uses an actual paper calendar and mechanical pencil to plan his day, while I need a full Bodum of coffee before I can face his persistent scheduling questions. “Do you have anything you need to do today?” “What should we have for dinner?” “Do you want to fit a workout in today?”The kitchen is ground zero for our domestic turf war.
I didn’t expect to feel resentment during our shared time, but I clearly do. His experience of paternity leave is For whatever reason, his parental leave hasn’t included Daddy and Me read-alongs at the library, or baby swim classes. He’s not checking blogs about baby development or what the experts are now recommending for. Maybe he would venture out on more typical maternity-leave activities if I weren’t here, but I’ll never know. He’s happier putting the baby in the carrier and taking her for a walk solo.
Amazingly annoying lol
perhaps he was their for you
