[QUOTE="SLA, post: 7139762, member: 74462"] We have two daughters, one nearly 4 and one nearly 4 months. Husband works full time -sprayer operator and game keeper, he gets basically no off season. We have cattle and sheep that I look after. If we get the chance we’ll pop out and see daddy at lunchtime or for a couple of runs up the field. We go beating on shoot days and she loves spending time with daddy. However it’s only since the second one turned up that he started doing things like bathing and dressing her. It’s not that he’s been to busy etc it’s just he’s not been “comfortable” doing it. Some people (especially blokes) just find it hard with small ones, once they are talking and running around they can relate to them better but don’t really know what to do with them when little babies. How about suggesting you need a break and could he “babysit” whilst you go out occasionally? Used to send the child with husband when he walked the dogs, was some nice daddy daughter time. We have days out regularly- we all go to pick up calves or go check stock that’s not at home - pick some food up whilst out and don’t rush about. Pick your moments and try and make any time your all together as positive as possible, carrots are often more effective than sticks! [/QUOTE]
