My dh is 25.
ds1 has just turned 1 year and ds2 is due late august.
He has a physical job, which i appreciate, and they also have no air con/fans at his work so he is exhausted when he gets home.
I look after ds1 exclusively and work 4 days per week and get up to ds in the night and, obviously, am 8 months preg.
Its hard going but i am coping (just) and when ds2 is born i will give up work. hence i ma happy to be the main carer iykwim.
Im afraid the boys wont know him, like i didnt really know my dad. my dad was just there. if we wanted anything, needed anything it was all mum. dad just brought the money home.
when the kids get older, do men find they can get more involved or is this it?
he is not very patient and is just, incapable, of looking after ds.
is he normal? will he get better?
apparently his dad was like this and once dh and his bro got to about 2 he came into his own with them and his mum was left out.
