I have to say I am so lucky to have the DH that I have... now, don't get me wrong, he has his normal husband-like short comings, but he is a great dad. We have a game that we call "tag", which I thought was pretty normal for parents, but as I talk to the other mom's I am finding out it is rare...
Tag goes something like this:
"Honey, I feel like crap today"
"So do I dear"
"Okay, you take shift one, and then we'll swap". And being the great guy that he is, I always get the second shift. Which means he'll take the little darlin, sometimes out, sometimes in, but always out of earshot so that I can catch up on sleep/read/work/do chores/some or all of the above, and then when I am done, we swap so that he can do the same.
Now I thought this game was pretty universal, but apparently it only comes in the "play at home" version, and is pretty local to just my area. Silly me for thinking that it was suitable for family play, but apparently the primary players are mom's and grandmom's, not spouses. Boy do some of those dad's get it easy. In my world, parenting is a two person activity, in every sense of the world, and thank god my DH feels the same way...
