We all have those moments that we just have to stop and laugh at our significant other when they are taking care of our babies. It's not that fathers are not completely capable of caring for a baby, because they are. It's just that we, as mothers, often have different views about how to care for said baby. I know that my husband often has his own rhythm with our baby, and they leave me cracking up.
Just last night my husband declared that he should win a father of the year award. Our baby has been fussy while I was taking a shower (no surprise there- she wants momma time every time I want to get clean,) so he consoled her and prepared her for bed. This meant changing her from a plain onesie into her pajamas, which are the full bodied zipper onesies. However, he couldn't find one of them, so he opted for the much more difficult snap variety. As she was wailing, he opted to change her standing up, because it made her happier.
The fact that my husband changed our baby while she was standing up into a full bodied snapped onesie somehow qualified him for an award. Sarcastic as usual, I asked what kind of title I would earn since I did the same thing almost every other night. He simply said "mom." Such a double standard! I told him if he wanted more father of the year awards, he could do laundry, dishes, feed the cat, get the baby ready in the mornings (she is NOT a morning person,) and maybe even lactate... That one might even get him a Nobel Peace Prize or something.
